Paella catering in Tubney, cooked live
Paella is generous food: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It makes the food an event in itself. Whether it’s weddings, from canapés to evening food and summer garden parties, we can cook vegan paella, black rice and seafood paella for your guests.
Somewhere like Tubney, a field or garden is often the perfect setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Tubney: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Tubney?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How much does paella catering cost in Tubney?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Dishes our guests love
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.
Mixed paella
Paella mixta combines meat and seafood in one pan.
How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Evenings in Tubney stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Count adults and children separately
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Ask for labels on each pan
Once the rice is in, it needs about 20 minutes, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Sangria and bar staff can be added for your own drinks.
