About our paella party catering in West End Green
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and family get-togethers, serving chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and mixed paella.
A country party near West End Green is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Step by step
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 while your guests chat. For a late-May party in West End Green, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

Other catering in West End Green
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria and bar staff available
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
It is one of the most popular pans at parties.
Tapas
A few tapas set the scene while they watch the pans.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
