Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Warn the neighbours
- Have bins ready
- Give separate numbers for children
- Have enough chairs for most guests
Kids are fascinated by the huge pans, from a safe distance.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Dishes our guests love
Vegetable paella
Vegetable paella in its own right, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
Churros
Churros are a treat for all ages.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Paella compared with other options
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you’re a guest too. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
- Drinks service on request
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Your questions about paella party catering in Brighthampton
Do you come out to small places like Brighthampton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Giles' Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a picture of the space.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
