Paella party catering in Woolhampton, cooked live

Paella is relaxed food: it is served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For celebrations of life and milestone birthdays, we can cook churros, mixed paella and tapas.

Country parties near Woolhampton suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

What paella party catering costs

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Timings and hours
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Expected numbers
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Sugary churros with chocolate, a sweet finish.

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Ensure most people can sit to eat
  • Add a diet question to the invitation
  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling
  • Warn the neighbours

After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.

Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Where we can cook in Woolhampton

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

What we offer

  • Tapas
  • Mixed paella
  • Seafood paella
  • Paella Valenciana
  • Chicken & chorizo paella
  • Vegetable paella

What happens on the day

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Woolhampton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
  3. We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
