Some of Our Recent Events
What Our Clients Say About Their Catering Experience.
Everyone really enjoyed the food which, in our group, is no mean feat as we deal with a lot of food events and are total “food snobs!” People are still talking about it – and have said it was our best party ever….we would certainly recommend you to anyone looking at throwing a great party!!!
We want to write to you to say how happy we were with your catering and great service for Henry’s recent 60th birthday party. Many guests commented later about the wonderful choice of fiesta tapas and several thought that the tapas course was the main meal, such was the quantity. Everyone enjoyed the added entertainment of watching Bob cook the paellas in your marquee, adding to the festive nature of our party.
It was a fabulous help to me to have you package the leftover paella into the plastic containers. The desserts were very popular, particularly with the oldest and youngest guests. Again, I was so impressed with your service, by making room in our spare fridge yourself to keep deserts fresh, and leaving me free to greet guests and enjoy our party.
In short, all of our family said they would definitely recommend Señor Paella to anyone wanting delicious & different catering at their next event. Thank you so very much for helping to make Henry’s 60th an affair to remember . It was a wonderful party, courtesy of delicious catering and fabulous entertainment.
I just wanted to send you a little note to thank you for the wonderful service and food at my 30th birthday on the 13th August. Wonderful service and the food was fabulous, great value for money and all my guests have been talking about how fantastic it was. Your set up was great and the Tapas was even more than I had envisaged for the cost.
Thank you again and I hope to be able to use you again in the future.
Freqently Asked Questions
Is the paella cooked from fresh ingredients?
It most certainly is! A true paella is cooked in a single pan and that’s just what we do. Our chef cooks your paellas from scratch, right in front of your guests. Feel free to ask questions and take photographs!
Do you charge extra for wedding catering?
No! For us, every event we cater for is special, so we approach every function with exactly the same care and attention to detail. We know it’s unusual but we charge the same whether you book your catering for a party, a product launch, a corporate event or a wedding!
What ingredients do you use in your paella?
All our paellas are made with genuine Calasparra rice, first grade saffron threads and nothing but the finest ingredients. Check out the details of our 3 best selling paella recipes; seafood, meat and vegetarian. We can also adapt recipes, for example, add chicken to our vegetarian paella recipe.
How far do your travel for catering?
Well, by popular demand, we’ve catered for events as far North as 1770, as far West as Dalby and as far South as Byron Bay! More usually we provide catering across the South East Queensland area, cooking paella for all sorts of functions from Noosa to the Gold Coast and beyond. We are able to travel further afield for a surcharge so contact us for more details if you are outside of our standard areas.
Are you able to provide a gluten free paella?
Certainly! In fact, all our paellas are gluten free. We’re very careful about this!
Can I choose to have more than one type of paella?
We’re very happy to provide a choice of paellas! You can even have a chat with our chef about modifying your favourite so as to accommodate any guests with allergies. And, there’s no extra charge for this service! Contact us for more details.
Do you need me to provide anything?
No! We bring everything we need with us. We just need access to hand washing facilities. For evening functions, where you’d like us to set up in an area with little or no lighting, we bring our own cables and spotlights – all we need is a power socket. If you choose to include tapas in your order, you will need to provide a table upon which we can set the dishes out.
How much space do you need for catering?
This depends on which pans we’re using to cook your paella and how many guests we’re catering for. Obviously, 3 different varieties of paella in our large pans take a bit more room than 2 of the smaller pans. Somewhere between 2m x 2m and 3.5m x 3m should cover it.
What time will you arrive?
We will arrive around 90 minutes before the time that you have asked us to serve your paella. We allow around 30 minutes for a reasonably standard set up where access is no problem and then around an hour to cook your paella. If you need to adjust your serve time, please give us 24 hours notice.
How many can you cater for?
We can cater to a wide range of guests, anything from 35 to over 300! We commonly use 3 pans for larger functions so as to provide one of each of our seafood, meat and vegetarian paellas but for more than 300 guests we are able to call on more than 1 Señor Paella team. Imagine having 3 of our teams to cater your huge event with 9 delicious pans of paella!
How is the paella served?
We will serve your guests directly from the pan so that they can can get individual service from chef. We find that guests love the opportunity to chat to our staff and make their own choice about their meal. We are able to provide tableware as an extra if required but ask that, where clients provide their own disposable tableware, they take account of the heat of the freshly cooked and served paella. We strongly advise against plastic or cardboard/paper plates.
