Paella party catering in Upper Froyle, cooked live
It’s 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. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Whether it’s family reunions and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of mixed paella, seafood paella and vegetable paella.
A country party near Upper Froyle is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let the neighbours know
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Count adults and children separately
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
