Paella party catering in Send, made fresh on the day
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Whether it is anniversaries and engagement parties and retirement and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of tapas, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In a place like Send, a garden party is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
About the dishes
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
Churros

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mixed paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Churros
- Seafood paella
- Tapas
- Vegetable paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it is light in Send until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Leave space around the cooking area
