About our paella party catering in Tangley
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children generally love a simple chicken paella. On the menu are tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and we’re frequently booked for celebrations of life and garden get-togethers.
A country party near Tangley is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Your questions about paella party catering in Tangley
Is Tangley too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Thomas of Canterbury?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you come to Tangley?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Tangley and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How we price paella party catering
