Paella party catering for your party in Weavers Down
Homes, gardens, clubs and hired venues all work. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and neighbourhood celebrations.
Country parties near Weavers Down suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Why choose live paella in Weavers Down?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Weavers Down hosts choose us
- Fast service from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
