About our paella party catering in Hedgerley Green
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer barbecues and naming days and christenings, serving seafood paella, tapas and mixed paella.
Country parties near Hedgerley Green suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Hedgerley Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Hedgerley Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Slough. Find your area.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
