Paella party catering in Palestine, cooked live
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For summer garden parties and big family gatherings, we will put together a menu of tapas, seafood paella and mixed paella.
Country parties near Palestine suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Warn the neighbours
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Add bread, salad and lemon.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
What affects the price in Palestine
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
