Paella party catering for Westmarsh events
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Westmarsh questions
Is Westmarsh too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Westmarsh for guests?
The closest is Minster station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Is my garden big enough?
Typically, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a picture and we will check.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Where we can cook in Westmarsh

How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The number of people
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Westmarsh until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
