Live paella or other catering?
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Served hot, straight from the pan
Paella party catering in Timsbury, made fresh on the day
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, churros and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and birthday parties.
A country party near Timsbury is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Let the neighbours know
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Give separate numbers for children
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
Sangria sets the mood.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why choose paella party catering in Timsbury?
One big dish is simpler than lots of small ones, and there’s little waste.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. A summer party in Timsbury stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a level space ready for the pans
