Paella party catering for your party in Tourner Bury
Paella is relaxed food: it is served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Whether it’s engagement and anniversary parties and leaving dos and retirements, we will put together a menu of tapas, vegetable paella and mixed paella and more.
In a small place like Tourner Bury, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Tourner Bury parties: what to know
Tourner Bury is about 1 mile north-east of South Hayling, in Hampshire. We cook at parties in homes, gardens and venues in Tourner Bury and nearby villages. We cater in 683 places across Hampshire. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 21 miles away.
If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Warblington station, about 4.1 miles north. Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (3.5 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice, with shelter from the breeze planned in.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Sunset in Tourner Bury is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- The courses you’d like
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about paella party catering in Tourner Bury
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Tourner Bury too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We will check availability straight away.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
