Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Paella party catering for your party in Middlegreen
It is 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 generally love a simple chicken paella. On the menu are tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater neighbourhood celebrations and baby celebrations.
In a small place like Middlegreen, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Is Middlegreen 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.
We are having a ceremony at St Mary the Virgin Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
