Paella party catering for Weeke events
How our paella party catering works in Weeke
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. We take care of the food. We’re frequently asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and leaving dos and retirements, serving churros, tapas and seafood paella.
Around Weeke, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. Live paella fits right in. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Hosting a paella party in Weeke
Weeke is about 1 mile north-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your party in Weeke, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cook in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 11 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Winchester station is about 0.6 miles away. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Matthew, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.
Here we cover the SO22 and SO23 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Elm Road, Dean Lane and Links Road; a party at home on any of them works well with live paella.

What affects the price in Weeke
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
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.

Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- We cover Weeke and the whole of Hampshire
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

Weeke questions
Could we have live paella in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Weeke close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
The menu, dish by dish
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella usually gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a late-May party in Weeke, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
