Paella party catering in Nash Street, cooked live
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. Whether it is wakes and memorial gatherings and retirement and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of tapas, seafood paella and churros for your guests.
In a small place like Nash Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- A quote that spells everything out
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Questions from Nash Street
Do you come out to small places like Nash Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in Jeskyns?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We will check availability straight away.
What affects the price in Nash Street
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
- How many guests are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote

- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The courses you’d like
- Your date and when you want to eat
