Live paella party catering in Titchfield
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Sunset in Titchfield 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us where to park and unload

Paella party catering in Titchfield, cooked live
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. For street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and family get-togethers, we can cook vegetable paella, tapas and mixed paella and more.
A country party near Titchfield is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. Book us and you’re free to enjoy it. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.

Questions from Titchfield
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Titchfield too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A photo helps.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Vegetable paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
- Churros

How we price paella party catering
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
- Guest numbers

What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Anything your venue supplies
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
