Paella party catering in Dogmersfield, cooked live
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. On the menu are vegetable paella, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater family reunions and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Dogmersfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What you get with us
- Drinks service on request
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Real theatre, not just catering
- We cover Dogmersfield and the whole of Hampshire

FAQs for Dogmersfield
We are having a ceremony at All Saints' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Dogmersfield?
The closest is Winchfield station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.

Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Dogmersfield.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Dogmersfield stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Parks such as Calthorpe Park generally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Nearby historic houses include Farnham Castle (4.7 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
We cater parties across the RG27 postcode area. We also cook at parties in Crookham Village (1 mile east), Winchfield Hurst (1 mile north-west), Mill Lane (1 mile south), Fleet (2 miles east) and Bowling Alley (2 miles south). We also cook in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (10 miles west), Farnborough (5 miles east), Aldershot (5 miles east), Alton (9 miles south-west), Yateley (5 miles north) and Tadley (13 miles north-west).

What paella party catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The courses you’d like

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
