About our paella party catering in St George's Fields
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. We’re often asked to cater retirement celebrations and christenings and naming days, with churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
In St George's Fields, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. Send a photo of the garden.
