Paella party catering for Morton events
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
Morton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Morton questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
We’re having a ceremony at St. Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Normally, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
For event organisers in Morton
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.
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 for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Warn the neighbours
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Plan where rubbish goes
Booked staff help serve and clear.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
What affects the price in Morton
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, it is light in Morton until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.

Hosting a paella party in Morton
Morton is about 1 mile north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your party is in the middle of Morton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Morton is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Morton to Southampton (20 miles away).
After a christening at a church like St. Mary's Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Brading station, about 0.6 miles north-east. The coast is within about a mile, so seafood paella often features, with shelter from the breeze planned in.
We cook at parties all over the PO36 postcode area and the streets around it. We can cater a party on streets such as New Road, Wrax Road and Morton Road or the roads around them. Morton is on the A3055, so it is easy for us to reach with the van and pans. Close by, we cover parties in Yarbridge (1 mile north-east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Adgestone (1 mile west), Yaverland (1 mile south-east) and Sandown (1 mile south-west).

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 handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
