Why choose live paella in Hatchford End?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Drinks service on request
What’s in the pans
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Hatchford End until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
