Paella party catering in Winslow
Why choose paella party catering in Winslow?
Any occasion works, from christenings to retirements.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We regularly cater:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Street and neighbourhood parties
- Family reunions
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
Nearby historic houses include Claydon House (3.5 miles south-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Paella party catering in Winslow, cooked live
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. For summer garden parties and celebrations of life, we can cook mixed paella, seafood paella and churros for your guests.
Around Winslow, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. A paella pan fits right in. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan seats for most guests
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in Winslow stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

What else we do in Winslow
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
