Paella party catering for your party in Holme Green
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a picture if you are unsure. Whether it’s summer garden parties and retirement celebrations, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella for your guests.
Country parties near Holme Green suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Holme Green stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 will do the cooking.
