About our paella party catering in Weavering

Paella is relaxed food: it is served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. We are often asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and birthday parties, with churros, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.

For a party in Weavering, your garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we will bring everything else. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What paella party catering costs

These are the factors that matter most:

Your choice of paellas
How many guests are eating
Distance and access to the venue
Waiting and bar staff

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

Dietary needs and planning tips

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:

Make sure most people can sit to eat
Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
Add a diet question to the invitation
Plan where rubbish goes

Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.

Tapas to start keep guests happy.

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. 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.

Common questions in Weavering

Is Weavering close to London?

About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can you cook in Vinters Valley Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Who clears up?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

Do you cook inside?

Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

What happens if it rains?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

The process

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, it’s light in Weavering until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
