Paella party catering for your party in Holmer Green
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you are unsure. We cook mixed paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater family get-togethers and baby celebrations.
In a place like Holmer Green, a garden party is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
Seafood paella normally gets the photos.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.
