About our paella party catering in North Fareham
Most gardens can host a paella party, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a picture. Typical bookings include anniversaries and engagement parties and naming days and christenings, serving tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
Country parties near North Fareham suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in North Fareham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Your questions about paella party catering in North Fareham
Is North Fareham close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
On request. Crockery or disposables are available.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
