Paella party catering in Vernham Street, made fresh on the day
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Typical bookings include big family gatherings and celebrations of life, serving tapas, seafood paella and mixed paella.
In a small place like Vernham Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.
How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Vernham Street questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Vernham Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Generally. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
