How our paella catering works in Bramshott Chase
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That is what we bring to events in Bramshott Chase. We are frequently asked to cater anniversary celebrations and weddings and evening receptions, with vegetable paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Somewhere like Bramshott Chase, a field or garden is often the perfect setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It is a favourite with guests who don’t eat fish.
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Your questions about paella catering in Bramshott Chase
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Bramshott Chase close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you cater in Bramshott Chase?
We do. We cook at events in Bramshott Chase and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Which paella is most popular?
That depends on who’s coming. A chicken or mixed paella is typically the most popular, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
