How paella party catering works in Hampshire

You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. We take care of the food. Typical bookings include street and neighbourhood parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving seafood paella, tapas and mixed paella.

The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day.

Hosting a paella party in Hampshire

Parties across Hampshire are mostly in gardens, halls and hired venues, from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to small villages. Live paella works at all of them. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, where we always plan shelter from the wind.

Basingstoke: After a christening at a church like St Michael's Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. If guests are coming by rail, Basingstoke station is about 0.6 miles away. Sunset in Basingstoke is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

DIY paella versus live catering

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Is live paella right for you?

DIY catering saves money but costs you time. Book us and you are free to enjoy it.

Prices and what affects them

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Whether you need crockery
Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
How long we’re needed on site

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

Roughly how many adults and children
Diets and allergies you know about
The address or venue name
Your date and when you want to eat

Organising for someone else?

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Hampshire questions

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

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.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

Should we have more than one paella?

Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

What does paella party catering cost?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
