Paella party catering for your party in Bramshaw
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. Whether it is garden get-togethers and wakes and memorial gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of mixed paella, tapas and seafood paella and more.
In a small place like Bramshaw, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
A closer look at the menu
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you’re a guest too. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. A summer party in Bramshaw stays light until about 9:25pm 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.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
