Paella party catering for your party in Privett
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and wakes and celebrations of life.
For a party in Privett, your garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we’ll do the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Common questions in Privett
Is Privett close to London?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
