Live paella party catering in New Yatt
How our paella party catering works in New Yatt
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. Typical bookings include street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and big birthdays, with churros, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella.
A country party near New Yatt is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a late-May party in New Yatt, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:30pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
