About our paella party catering in Hazeley
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. We take care of the food. Whether it is garden get-togethers and wakes and memorial gatherings, we can cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and churros and more.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a late-May party in Hazeley, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

Common questions in Hazeley
Is Hazeley too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Hazeley from London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a photo of the space.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

For event organisers in Hazeley
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- We cover Hazeley and the whole of Hampshire
- No hidden extras in your quote
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
