Paella party catering for your party in Slindon
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For family reunions and garden get-togethers, we can cook tapas, churros and seafood paella.
In a small place like Slindon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Questions from Slindon

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Normally, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.

Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
