How paella catering works in BH21
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. We are often asked to cater naming days and family parties and weddings and evening receptions, serving vegetable paella, mixed paella and vegan paella.
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.

Live paella across BH21: what to know
There are 1 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in BH21, so the setting can be anything from Broxhill to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Broxhill: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St James, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. In Broxhill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
Paella is best eaten as soon as it’s ready, so we serve when guests are ready.
Sangria and bar staff can be added to serve drinks you provide.
How we price paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
