How our paella party catering works in Warren Row
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. We cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater family reunions and street and neighbourhood parties.
Near Warren Row, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
What paella party catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Why choose live paella in Warren Row?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Dishes our guests love
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella normally gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Mixed paella
- Seafood paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Vegetable paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
- Churros
