Paella party catering in Wooburn, made fresh on the day
Most gardens can host a paella party, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and tapas, and typical bookings are for wakes and celebrations of life and leaving dos and retirements.
Country parties near Wooburn suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well, and meat eaters often try it too.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans, from a safe distance.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Wooburn stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
