How our paella party catering works in Burridge
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it is served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. We cook churros, tapas and vegetable paella, and we are frequently booked for family get-togethers and naming days and christenings.
In a small place like Burridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Your questions about paella party catering in Burridge
Which station should guests use for Burridge?
The closest is Swanwick station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cook near the sea around Burridge?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Burridge stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
