About our paella party catering in Lower North Dean
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella. On the menu are tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and we are frequently booked for street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties.
Country parties near Lower North Dean suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Your questions about paella party catering in Lower North Dean
Can you cater a reception after a service at Speen Church (Baptist)?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We’ll check availability right away.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Is my garden big enough?
Normally, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
