Paella party catering in Wick Hill, 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. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and family get-togethers, serving chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and churros.
In a place like Wick Hill, a garden party is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Live paella or other catering?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. Book us and you are free to enjoy it. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why book with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, it’s light in Wick Hill until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
