How our paella party catering works in Nutcombe
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Whether it is birthday parties and leaving dos and retirements, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella.
Country parties near Nutcombe suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Nutcombe: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Dishes our guests love
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course.
Tapas
A few tapas set the scene while they watch the pans.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Have enough chairs for most guests
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
