Paella party catering for your party in Queensbury
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. Popular choices include churros, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for family get-togethers and naming days and christenings.
Throwing a party in Queensbury? Live paella keeps you out of the kitchen, and works in gardens, on patios and at hired venues. Tell us about parking permits. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Sunset in Queensbury is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you set up in a small garden?

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
