Paella party catering for Stubbings events
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Paella party catering in Stubbings, made fresh on the day
Add tapas to start, churros for afters and a jug of sangria, and the party menu is complete. Popular choices include mixed paella, tapas and churros, and typical bookings are for big family gatherings and naming days and christenings.
Country parties near Stubbings suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan where rubbish goes
We’re set up before guests arrive.

Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a late-May party in Stubbings, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
