Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

About the dishes
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.
Why choose paella party catering in Bachelor's Bump?
One big dish is simpler than lots of small ones.
Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We often cook for:
- Retirement celebrations
- Wakes and celebrations of life
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Christenings and naming days
Parks such as Speckled Wood typically need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

For event organisers in Bachelor's Bump
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Bachelor's Bump stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Bachelor's Bump: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you cook in Speckled Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
