South Warnborough questions
Is South Warnborough too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is South Warnborough from London?
About 42 miles from central London.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
How much does paella party catering cost in South Warnborough?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We’ll check availability straight away.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
How our paella party catering works in South Warnborough
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues in and around South Warnborough. We cook churros, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and street and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like South Warnborough, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
The menu, dish by dish
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate, a sweet finish.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is often the showpiece.
Paella compared with other options
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Warn the neighbours
At food time, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. Sunset in South Warnborough is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.

Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Chicken & chorizo paella

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How we price paella party catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The paellas you choose
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
