Paella party catering in West Barnes, cooked live
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We’re often asked to cater naming days and christenings and retirement celebrations, with tapas, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In West Barnes, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

At midsummer, it is light in West Barnes until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

What else we do in West Barnes
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Warn the neighbours
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
