Paella party catering in Wotton
Paella party catering in Wotton, cooked live
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you are unsure. Typical bookings include family get-togethers and street and neighbourhood parties, serving tapas, churros and chicken and chorizo paella.
Near Wotton, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. A summer party in Wotton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, 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.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
