Paella party catering for your party in Niton
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. Whether it’s anniversary celebrations and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and tapas for your guests.
A country party near Niton is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Sunset in Niton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Where we can cook in Niton
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
For somewhere as remote as Niton, early notice helps us plan the trip.

What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
Send us the date, your venue or PO38 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just use our quote form.
Common questions in Niton
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St. John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook near the sea around Niton?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically, if there is outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.
Dishes our guests love
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives to start.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let the neighbours know
- Count adults and children separately
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Why choose live paella in Niton?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Fast service from the pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Sangria and bar staff available
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
