Paella party catering in Badger Farm, cooked live
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. For garden parties and summer barbecues and engagement and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of churros, vegetable paella and tapas and more.
Around Badger Farm, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. Live paella fits right in. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Common questions in Badger Farm
Which station should guests use for Badger Farm?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Luke?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Tell us how many and their ages.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.

What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Badger Farm stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
