Live paella party catering in Flemings
Paella party catering for your party in Flemings
Add tapas to start, churros for afters and a jug of sangria, and the party menu is complete. Typical bookings include garden get-togethers and street and neighbourhood parties, with tapas, mixed paella and seafood paella.
A country party near Flemings is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Count adults and children separately
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Questions from Flemings
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Flemings close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
How much does paella party catering cost in Flemings?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (2.7 miles south-west). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. A summer party in Flemings stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
