How our paella party catering works in Stony Green

Paella is made for relaxed parties: it is served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and anniversary celebrations.

In a small place like Stony 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. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

For planners, venues and organisers

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Our caterer checklist

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask guests about diets when you invite them
  • Ensure most people can sit to eat
  • Warn the neighbours
  • Ensure children stay back from the pans

If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.

Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

How we price paella party catering

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Guest numbers
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Whether you need crockery

Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of where we’d cook

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Stony Green questions

Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

We are having a ceremony at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

How far in advance should we book?

Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.

Do you cover Stony Green?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Stony Green. For a quote, use our quote form.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

Will there be enough food?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Who clears up?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
