Paella party catering in Burgh Hill, cooked live
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a picture. We’re frequently asked to cater family reunions and retirement and leaving parties, serving churros, vegetable paella and tapas.
Near Burgh Hill, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
There is 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Paella compared with other options
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Sangria and bar staff available

Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Vegetable paella
- Churros
- Mixed paella
- Seafood paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. At midsummer, it’s light in Burgh Hill until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
