About our paella party catering in Kingsfold

A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. We cook seafood paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and christenings and naming days.

In a small place like Kingsfold, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Why choose live paella in Kingsfold?

A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why choose Love Paella in Kingsfold

  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

How the day works

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Kingsfold until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

The menu, dish by dish

Churros

Churros are a treat for all ages.

Tapas

Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

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.

Planning the cooking area

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
