About our paella party catering in Stonesfield
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. Typical bookings include birthday parties and leaving dos and retirements, with seafood paella, churros and vegetable paella.
In a small place like Stonesfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Common questions in Stonesfield
Is Stonesfield too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Stonesfield from London?
About 62 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you come to Stonesfield?
We do. Stonesfield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Stonesfield stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check

Live paella or other catering?
