How our paella party catering works in Bisley
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. We cook seafood paella, vegetable paella and churros, and we are regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and retirement celebrations.
For a party in Bisley, your garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we will bring everything else. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Bisley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
