Paella party catering in North Moreton, made fresh on the day
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. We take care of the food. On the menu are mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater family get-togethers and anniversaries and engagement parties.
In a small place like North Moreton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Hosting a paella party in North Moreton

Historic houses near North Moreton include Brightwell Manor (1.2 miles north-east) and Clifton Hampden Manor (3.8 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of All Saints, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of North Moreton, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

North Moreton questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is North Moreton from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability straight away.
Paella compared with other options
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Tell us how many children are coming

- Ensure most people can sit to eat
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in North Moreton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
