Paella party catering in Normans' Bay, cooked live
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Popular choices include churros, vegetable paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for street and neighbourhood parties and birthday parties.
Country parties near Normans' Bay suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
