About our paella party catering in Brick Hill
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children normally love a simple chicken paella. We cook seafood paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater naming days and christenings and leaving dos and retirements.
Country parties near Brick Hill suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Your questions about paella party catering in Brick Hill
Do you come out to small places like Brick Hill?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could we have live paella in Gracious Pond?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
How much does paella party catering cost in Brick Hill?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Brick Hill, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
