About our paella party catering in Stalisfield Green
Paella is relaxed food: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Typical bookings include celebrations of life and summer garden parties, with seafood paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella.
In a small place like Stalisfield Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Common questions in Stalisfield Green
Could we have live paella in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
