About our paella party catering in Tadley
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a picture if you are unsure. Whether it’s celebrations of life and neighbourhood celebrations, we will put together a menu of seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros and more.
In Tadley, home and the local hall are popular party venues. Live paella works at both, given some outdoor or ventilated space. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Tadley? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Let the neighbours know
- Count adults and children separately
Booked staff help serve and clear.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Dishes our guests love
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate.
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought.
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Tadley: your questions answered
Is Tadley close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
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.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
