How our paella party catering works in Ledborough
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. On the menu are vegetable paella, mixed paella and tapas, and we are frequently booked for neighbourhood celebrations and retirement celebrations.
Country parties near Ledborough suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
