About our paella party catering in Loxhill
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. On the menu are vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and garden get-togethers.
Near Loxhill, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Loxhill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock, for the fish lovers.

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The paellas you choose

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
