Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. We’re often asked to cater family reunions and street and neighbourhood parties, serving chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and seafood paella.
A country party near Wallcrouch is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Wallcrouch stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
