Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down.

Edgehill: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Peter, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Nearby historic houses include Upton House (1 mile south) and Farnborough Hall (3.7 miles east). Historic venues often limit cooking, so ask early if you are booking one. Evenings in Edgehill stay light until about 9:30pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Why live paella works
Paella is one of the few dishes that handles mixed diets easily, because each version is cooked in its own pan. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
Whatever you’re celebrating in CV35, live paella can be the centrepiece. We regularly cater:
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Naming days and family parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Make sure each pan is labelled
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Tell us what else is being served
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can relax.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella is not an afterthought: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
