Paella party catering in Broad Oak, cooked live
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. We’re often asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and anniversaries and engagement parties, serving chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and tapas.
Near Broad Oak, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
What affects the price in Broad Oak

- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Broad Oak questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Broad Oak?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
How far in advance should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We’ll check availability straight away.
