Paella party catering in St George's Hill, made fresh on the day
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children generally love a simple chicken paella. Popular choices include mixed paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for celebrations of life and family get-togethers.
Parties around St George's Hill are frequently relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A paella pan fits right in. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you’re a guest too. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Count adults and children separately

- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.

FAQs for St George's Hill
We are having a ceremony at United Reform Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we have live paella in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Usually, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is usually the best advert for the party.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
