Paella party catering in Spanish Green, cooked live
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. On the menu are tapas, seafood paella and mixed paella, and typical bookings are for baby celebrations and big family gatherings.
Country parties near Spanish Green suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Spanish Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Spanish Green for guests?
The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you come to Spanish Green?
We do. Spanish Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Spanish Green until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
