Live paella party catering in Horn Hill
Questions from Horn Hill
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Horn Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How our paella party catering works in Horn Hill
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Popular choices include vegetable paella, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for family reunions and neighbourhood celebrations.
In a small place like Horn Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Where we can cook in Horn Hill

At midsummer, it is light in Horn Hill until about 9:25pm, 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.
