Paella party catering in Bramley Green
About our paella party catering in Bramley Green
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. On the menu are mixed paella, vegetable paella and churros, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Bramley Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Is Bramley Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
