Paella party catering in Wentworth, made fresh on the day
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Whether it’s birthday parties and wakes and celebrations of life, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, tapas and seafood paella and more.
Near Wentworth, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. Sunset in Wentworth is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day

- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Let the neighbours know
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan where rubbish goes
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.
