Paella party catering for Bewbush events
How our paella party catering works in Bewbush
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. For anniversary celebrations and garden get-togethers, we can cook seafood paella, churros and mixed paella for your guests.
Around Bewbush, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. A paella pan fits right in. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For a late-May party in Bewbush, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Let us know the timings for the day

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
