How our paella party catering works in Temple Ewell
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. For wakes and celebrations of life and neighbourhood celebrations, we can cook vegetable paella, tapas and churros and more.
In a small place like Temple Ewell, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Temple Ewell stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
