Paella party catering in Marlow Common, made fresh on the day
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. We cook tapas, churros and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for big family gatherings and garden parties and summer barbecues.
Near Marlow Common, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
