Paella party catering in Manor Park
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Paella party catering in Manor Park, cooked live
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Throwing a party in Manor Park? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, in a garden, on a patio or at a venue. Tell us about parking permits. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. Sunset in Manor Park is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

After a christening at a church like St Mary's Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Parks such as Loxford Park generally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is frequently easier.

When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
