How our paella party catering works in Leagreen
Paella is relaxed food: it is served from the pan and shared, without any fuss. Whether it is christenings and naming days and big family gatherings, we can cook churros, seafood paella and vegetable paella for your guests.
A country party near Leagreen is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Your questions about paella party catering in Leagreen
What’s the nearest station to Leagreen for guests?
New Milton station, about 2.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Leagreen?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Generally, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a picture and we’ll check.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well, and meat eaters frequently try it too.
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives while the paella cooks.
What affects the price in Leagreen
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The number of people
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a late-May party in Leagreen, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
