Paella party catering in Laddingford
Paella party catering in Laddingford, made fresh on the day
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and engagement and anniversary parties.
Near Laddingford, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.

FAQs for Laddingford
Is Laddingford too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Laddingford from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
