Paella party catering in Pamber Heath, cooked live
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. We cook seafood paella, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and family get-togethers.

Pamber Heath questions
Do you come out to small places like Pamber Heath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Pamber Heath?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 3.1 miles south-east of the centre.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cover Pamber Heath?
Yes, we do. Pamber Heath is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. At midsummer, it is light in Pamber Heath until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.

Planning help
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Live paella or other catering?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
