Village fêtes and summer fairs around Elvetham Heath are made for a paella stall. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Why choose live paella in Elvetham Heath?
