Live paella party catering in Bullbrook
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How our paella party catering works in Bullbrook
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. Typical bookings include big birthdays and retirement and leaving parties, with chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella.
In a place like Bullbrook, a garden party is normally the easiest option. Tell us about access and parking, and we’ll bring everything else. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

For event organisers in Bullbrook
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Common questions in Bullbrook
We are having a ceremony at St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How far is Bullbrook from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Bullbrook until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the 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.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Let us know the timings for the day

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
