Three Mills questions
Is parking a problem for events in Three Mills?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Chicken & chorizo paella
It’s one of the most popular pans at parties, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
