Paella party catering in Lacey Green, made fresh on the day

Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. We are often asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and birthday parties, with churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.

Near Lacey Green, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

How it works

Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. At midsummer, it’s light in Lacey Green until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  2. You get a menu and a quote.
  3. We set up before guests arrive.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.
