Your questions about paella party catering in Broadwater
Can you cook in Beach House Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
