What’s in the pans
Vegetable paella
Vegetable paella in its own right.
Churros
Churros are a treat for all ages.
What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
- Timings and hours
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The courses you’d like
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Bierley is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Parties in Bierley: gardens, venues and local tips
Bierley is about 5 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO38 area, we can cook for your guests. Bierley is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cook right across the region, from Bierley to Southampton (about 23 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, Shanklin station is about 5 miles away. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The coast is within about 4 miles, so seafood paella often features.
Anywhere in PO38, we can bring paella party catering to you. Close by, we cover parties in Southford (1 mile north-east), Nettlecombe (1 mile east), Godshill (3 miles north), Wroxall (3 miles north-east) and Sandford (3 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (10 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (5 miles north-east) and Ventnor (3 miles east). Some remote venues need extra planning, so ask early about your party.
A little further out are Blackgang Sawmill Museum (1.6 miles south-west) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Bierley include Stenbury Down.
- Local pubs include The White Horse Inn (0.7 miles east)
Your questions about paella party catering in Bierley
Which station should guests use for Bierley?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 5 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Have bins ready
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Bierley stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
