How our paella party catering works in Rotherbridge
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. We are frequently asked to cater family reunions and celebrations of life, with chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and churros.
Country parties near Rotherbridge suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Common questions in Rotherbridge
Is Rotherbridge too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of All Hallows: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let the neighbours know
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Count adults and children separately
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
