About our paella party catering in Sherfield on Loddon
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and birthday parties, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and tapas.
A country party near Sherfield on Loddon is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. A summer party in Sherfield on Loddon stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
