Paella party catering in Northmoor, cooked live
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We are often asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and big family gatherings, serving chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and seafood paella.
Country parties near Northmoor suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

How we price paella party catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Northmoor: your questions answered
How far is Northmoor from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Is Northmoor too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
