For a late-May party in Chaddleworth, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Your questions about paella party catering in Chaddleworth
Do you come out to small places like Chaddleworth?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
What paella party catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- Anything your venue supplies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Why choose live paella in Chaddleworth?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
