Paella party catering for your party in Brooklands
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. Typical bookings include leaving dos and retirements and family get-togethers, with vegetable paella, tapas and churros.
Around Brooklands, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. Live paella fits right in. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, it’s light in Brooklands until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Plan seats for most guests
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Have bins ready
We are set up before guests arrive.
Tapas to start keep hunger at bay.
