Paella party catering for your party in Seabrook
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella. Typical bookings include engagement and anniversary parties and wakes and celebrations of life, serving tapas, churros and chicken and chorizo paella.
A country party near Seabrook is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
The menu, dish by dish
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives while the paella cooks.
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We regularly cater:
- Neighbourhood celebrations
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Celebrations of life
- Family get-togethers

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

Paella compared with other options
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What else we do in Seabrook
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, it’s light in Seabrook until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
