Paella party catering in Stratton Audley, made fresh on the day
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a picture if you are unsure. On the menu are churros, tapas and vegetable paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and wakes and celebrations of life.
In a small place like Stratton Audley, 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. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.

What affects the price in Stratton Audley
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Warn the neighbours
- Give separate numbers for children
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Space, weather and the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Tapas
- Paella Valenciana

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. A summer party in Stratton Audley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
