Paella party catering for your party in Stuckton
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. Popular choices include churros, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for leaving dos and retirements and family reunions.
In a small place like Stuckton, 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. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have bins ready
- Add a diet question to the invitation
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.

How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. Sunset in Stuckton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.

Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
