Paella party catering in Fawler, cooked live
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. For retirement celebrations and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella and more.
In a small place like Fawler, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

What happens on the day
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. For a late-May party in Fawler, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:30pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Warn the neighbours
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Count adults and children separately
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
