Paella party catering for your party in Stalisfield
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues. On the menu are tapas, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and we are often booked for street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and baby celebrations.
In a small place like Stalisfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a late-May party in Stalisfield, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Questions from Stalisfield
Is Stalisfield close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Add a diet question to the invitation
We are set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Sangria sets the mood.
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
