Paella party catering in Nash Lee, made fresh on the day

Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Whether it’s christenings and naming days and street and neighbourhood parties, we’ll put together a menu of tapas, churros and mixed paella.

In a small place like Nash Lee, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Step by step

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Sunset in Nash Lee is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

  • Give separate numbers for children

After service, we pack down, leaving you to carry on celebrating.

Paella compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

What you get with us

  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

Should I cook it 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Nash Lee questions

Do you come out to small places like Nash Lee?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Do you cater for young children?

Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

How much is live paella catering?
