Live paella party catering in Ley Hill
How our paella party catering works in Ley Hill
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. Popular choices include tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and we are frequently booked for retirement and leaving parties and summer garden parties.
A country party near Ley Hill is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Your questions about paella party catering in Ley Hill
Is Ley Hill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St George's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. See all areas.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price paella party catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
