How our paella party catering works in Two Mile Ash
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and churros, and we are frequently booked for garden get-togethers and birthday parties.
In a place like Two Mile Ash, a garden party is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
Common questions in Two Mile Ash
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Cross?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
