Live paella party catering in Wishanger Common
Planning a party in Wishanger Common
Wishanger Common is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. From the centre of Wishanger Common to the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. We cater in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey. Our events stretch from Wishanger Common to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St John the Evangelist, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. For guests coming by train, Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 3.7 miles away. Wishanger Common is within about 4 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cook at parties all over the GU10 postcode area and the streets around it. From Frensham Lane and Wishanger Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the pans to you. Close by, we cover parties in Dockenfield (1 mile north-west), Batt's Corner (2 miles north-west), Arford (2 miles south), Headley Down (2 miles south) and Headley (2 miles south). We also cook in nearby towns such as Guildford (12 miles north-east), Camberley (13 miles north), Farnham (5 miles north), Frimley (12 miles north), Haslemere (5 miles south-east) and Cranleigh (14 miles east).

About our paella party catering in Wishanger Common
Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Popular choices include mixed paella, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater big family gatherings and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
In a small place like Wishanger Common, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Wishanger Common stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

What’s in the pans
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters frequently try it too.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are having a ceremony at St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you do a kids’ option?
