Paella party catering in Puttenham
Paella party catering in Puttenham, cooked live
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you are unsure. We are often asked to cater big family gatherings and garden parties and summer barbecues, with tapas, seafood paella and churros.
In a small place like Puttenham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Sunset in Puttenham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Puttenham? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Seafood paella
Seafood paella typically gets the photos.
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate, a sweet finish.
Is live paella right for your party?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Puttenham questions
What’s the nearest station to Puttenham for guests?
Wanborough station, about 1.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
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 do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
