Live paella party catering in Beauworth
Paella party catering in Beauworth, cooked live
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. We cook tapas, churros and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and baby celebrations.
Country parties near Beauworth suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How long we are needed on site
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- Expected numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Beauworth is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve from the pan and pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
