About our paella party catering in Keynor Estate
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. We are frequently asked to cater neighbourhood celebrations and summer garden parties, serving vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
Near Keynor Estate, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Why choose live paella in Keynor Estate?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there is no host stuck at the grill. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Drinks service on request
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Served hot, straight from the pan
