Paella catering in Beggar's Bush, made fresh on the day
Watching it cook is part of the experience. People drift over as the sofrito sizzles and the rice turns gold, and the smell does the rest. Typical bookings include family celebrations and christenings and retirement and leaving parties, with seafood paella, vegan paella and black rice.
For a rural spot like Beggar's Bush, the countryside is part of the appeal: a giant pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. In Beggar's Bush, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan cover in case of rain

Other catering in Beggar's Bush
Dishes our guests love
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury.
Vegetable and vegan paella
Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ensure each pan is labelled
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.

Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
- A clear, itemised quote
- Fast service from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
