Paella party catering near Lyne
Paella party catering in Lyne, cooked live
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. We are often asked to cater celebrations of life and milestone birthdays, serving seafood paella, vegetable paella and tapas.
Country parties near Lyne suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Lyne parties: what to know
Lyne is about 3 miles south of Egham, in Surrey. Whether your party is in the middle of Lyne or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Lyne is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Lyne to Guildford (about 10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Botleys Mansion (1 mile south) and Byfleet Manor (5 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Chertsey station, about 1.2 miles east.
This part of Surrey takes in KT16. Whether your party is on Almners Road, Pantiles Close and Lyne Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the pans to you. We also cook at parties in Chertsey (1 mile east), Trumps Green (2 miles west), Ottershaw (2 miles south), Stonehill (2 miles south-west) and Row Town (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (10 miles south), Woking (5 miles south), Camberley (9 miles south-west), Epsom (12 miles east), Ewell (12 miles east) and Egham (3 miles north).
Nearby you will also find Spelthorne Museum (3.3 miles north) and St. Peter's Hospital (0.8 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include St Ann's Hill and St Ann's Lake.
- Local schools include White Lodge Children's Centre (0.8 miles south-east) and Salesian School (0.9 miles south-east)

For event organisers in Lyne
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What else we do in Lyne
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
We are set up before guests arrive, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Lyne stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
