About our paella party catering in Westcott Barton
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Popular choices include churros, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for big family gatherings and summer garden parties.
Country parties near Westcott Barton 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.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it is light in Westcott Barton until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
