Near Well, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, it is light in Well until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
