How our paella party catering works in Walton Hall

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 wakes and memorial gatherings and family reunions, serving vegetable paella, mixed paella and churros.

A country party near Walton Hall is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • Waiting and bar staff
  • The length of service
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • How many courses

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • A picture of the space, if you can

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan

Your questions about paella party catering in Walton Hall

Is Walton Hall close to London?

About 45 miles from central London.

Is Walton Hall too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

How far in advance should we book?

The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability right away.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Will the neighbours notice?

Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.

Is paella OK for kids?

Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Tell us how many and their ages.

Can you supply crockery?

We can. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.

Is my garden big enough?

Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Keep children and pets away from the burners
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Have bins ready
  • Make sure most people can sit to eat

We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.

Add bread, salad and lemon.
