How our paella party catering works in Froxfield Green
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. On the menu are seafood paella, vegetable paella and churros, and we’re frequently booked for wakes and memorial gatherings and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Froxfield Green, 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. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Froxfield Green? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Planning a party in Froxfield Green
Froxfield Green is about 3 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your party in Froxfield Green, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Froxfield Green is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cook. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 19 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Peter on the Green, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles of Froxfield Green, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, it’s light in Froxfield Green until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.

Why choose live paella in Froxfield Green?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
