How paella party catering works in Surrey

You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. We take care of the food. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and churros, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and naming days and christenings.

Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

What you’ll pay

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.

Why choose Love Paella

  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Local landmarks in Guildford

Locally, our events take us close to Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St John the Evangelist (less than half a mile east), Stoke Park (within half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (less than half a mile south-east). For guests coming by rail, the closest station is London Road (Guildford) station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Not far away are Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Party venues across Surrey

Across Surrey, town gardens tend to be smaller and village lanes narrower. Let us know about your space and access. Parts of Surrey are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking.

Guildford: Nearby historic houses include Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Loseley Park (2.6 miles south-west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Parks such as Stoke Park usually need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is frequently easier. A summer party in Guildford stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

DIY paella versus live catering

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

What paella party catering costs

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Guest numbers
  • Waiting and bar staff

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • A photo of the space, if you can

Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your party, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Planning for every diet

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

  • Ensure most people can sit to eat
  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling
  • Warn the neighbours
  • Count adults and children separately

After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.

Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

The menu, dish by dish

Churros

All ages love churros.

Vegetable paella

Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters frequently try it too.

FAQs for Surrey

Do you cater for children?

Of course. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.

Can you cater a party at a village hall?

Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.

Is it really cooked live?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
