Paella party catering for your party in Bramshill

A country party near Bramshill is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Warn the neighbours
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Bramshill stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
