Live paella party catering in Stonestreet Green
Paella party catering in Stonestreet Green, cooked live
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. For garden get-togethers and big family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of tapas, mixed paella and churros for your guests.
A country party near Stonestreet Green is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

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. At midsummer, it’s light in Stonestreet Green until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
