Paella party catering in North Leigh, made fresh on the day
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children normally love a simple chicken paella. Popular choices include tapas, vegetable paella and mixed paella, and we are frequently booked for anniversary celebrations and birthday parties.
In a small place like North Leigh, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

North Leigh: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to North Leigh for guests?
Combe station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Is North Leigh too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we’ll check.
How much does paella party catering cost in North Leigh?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Tapas
A few tapas set the scene.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a late-May party in North Leigh, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:30pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
