Paella party catering in Upper Green, made fresh on the day
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We are often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and vegetable paella.
A country party near Upper Green is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How we price paella party catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of paellas
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- The date and rough timings
- The courses you’d like

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Sunset in Upper Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
