Paella catering in Brockhill, made fresh on the day
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That is exactly what we bring to your event in Brockhill. Whether it’s summer garden parties and retirement and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and vegan paella.
In a rural place like Brockhill, the setting does plenty of the work: a huge pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Make sure each pan is labelled
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
A short rest after cooking helps, and that is when we invite guests up.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
What else we do in Brockhill
Your questions about paella catering in Brockhill
Is Brockhill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Brockhill close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does paella work for big events?
Yes, that is what it is made for. We plan the number of pans and serving points around your numbers.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Is paella enough as a main?
Yes. With bread and salad, paella is a complete main, and tapas or dessert can be added.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together. Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Drinks service on request
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
