Paella party catering in Privett
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Real theatre, not just catering
