Paella party catering in Richings Park, made fresh on the day
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. On the menu are mixed paella, vegetable paella and churros, and we are regularly asked to cater garden get-togethers and anniversary celebrations.
Country parties near Richings Park suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
