Paella party catering in Warden, made fresh on the day
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. Whether it is baby celebrations and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
In a small place like Warden, 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Live paella or other catering?
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you’re a guest too. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
