How our paella party catering works in Pitshanger
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. For family reunions and wakes and celebrations of life, we can cook seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella and more.
In Pitshanger, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a picture of the garden. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. For a late-May party in Pitshanger, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
