Paella party catering in Hurley
Paella party catering in Hurley, made fresh on the day
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We’re often asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, with mixed paella, churros and seafood paella.
In a small place like Hurley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it is light in Hurley until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
