Paella party catering in Netherfield
Netherfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Netherfield?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
About our paella party catering in Netherfield
Paella is relaxed food: it’s served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. For summer garden parties and big family gatherings, we will put together a menu of churros, mixed paella and seafood paella.
In a small place like Netherfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. A summer party in Netherfield stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

About the dishes
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Let the neighbours know
