Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Paella party catering for your party in Midgham
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. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. For garden parties and summer barbecues and family reunions, we will put together a menu of vegetable paella, mixed paella and churros.
Country parties near Midgham suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Midgham questions
What’s the nearest station to Midgham for guests?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How far is Midgham from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The menu, dish by dish
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is often the showpiece.
How it works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Sunset in Midgham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Have a level space ready for the pans
