Paella party catering in Souldern
Why choose live paella in Souldern?

Why book with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Real theatre, not just catering

What else we do in Souldern
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Souldern stays light until about 9:30pm 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.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve from the pan and pack down.

What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- How many guests are eating
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
