Popular choices include vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and retirement and leaving parties.
A country party near Hyde End is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. A summer party in Hyde End stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
