Paella and garden parties are a natural match. A chef cooking a giant pan of rice, seafood, and fresh ingredients outdoors is exactly the kind of thing that makes a garden party feel special. Guests can watch the cooking, serve themselves, and come back for more.
Most paella caterers charge 10 to 16 pounds per head and bring everything they need. They work outdoors over gas burners, so a garden is ideal. Expect to serve 3 to 4 different paella options depending on your group size. Most caterers cover setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup.
On Nuento you can compare paella caterers across the UK, see per-head pricing, and book directly. An easy, impressive way to feed a garden party.
