Paella party catering in Pizien Well, cooked live
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. For garden parties and summer barbecues and big family gatherings, we can cook vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella for your guests.
In a small place like Pizien Well, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated.
What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, it’s light in Pizien Well until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Pizien Well: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Pizien Well for guests?
Wateringbury station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Pizien Well.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
