How our paella party catering works in Hassell Street
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. We are frequently asked to cater neighbourhood celebrations and baby celebrations, serving mixed paella, churros and seafood paella.
A country party near Hassell Street is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Why choose live paella in Hassell Street?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain

Sangria sets the mood.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
