About our paella party catering in Northington
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. We take care of the food. We are often asked to cater street and neighbourhood parties and summer garden parties, with seafood paella, churros and mixed paella.
In a small place like Northington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. A summer party in Northington stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Check the venue allows live cooking
