Paella party catering in Sunnymeads, cooked live
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. Typical bookings include celebrations of life and neighbourhood celebrations, serving tapas, vegetable paella and mixed paella.
In a small place like Sunnymeads, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- A quote that spells everything out
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Sunnymeads questions
We’re having a ceremony at SS Peter and Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Sunnymeads?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you cater in Sunnymeads?
We do. Sunnymeads is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
