Paella party catering near Russell's Green
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Your questions about paella party catering in Russell's Green
Is Russell's Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Russell's Green close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
How far in advance should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, it’s light in Russell's Green until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
