About our paella party catering in Hattingley
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. Whether it’s engagement and anniversary parties and family reunions, we’ll put together a menu of mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros for your guests.
In a small place like Hattingley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

- Family get-togethers
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Christenings and naming days
Nearby historic houses include Bentworth Hall (1.9 miles north-east) and Hall Place (2.2 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

- What happens if it rains
- How each diet is kept separate
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it is light in Hattingley until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
