Paella party catering in Silver Street
How our paella party catering works in Silver Street
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. For big family gatherings and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, churros and tapas and more.
A country party near Silver Street is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- The paellas you choose
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Where the event is
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Silver Street until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
