Our paella catering in GU27
Watching it cook is part of the experience. People drift over as the sofrito sizzles and the rice turns gold, and the smell does the rest. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for christenings and family gatherings and retirement celebrations.
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.

Planning live paella in GU27
Across GU27, we cook in 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Haslemere, Shottermill and Fernhurst to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan. Parts of GU27 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.
Haslemere: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Christopher, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. For guests coming by train, Haslemere station is in Haslemere itself. Around midsummer it stays light in Haslemere until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Make sure each pan is labelled
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Confirm allergies by email
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
We can add sangria and bar staff for your own drinks.
For event organisers in GU27
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
How we price paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- Anything your venue supplies
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Who books paella catering?
Outdoor events and live paella go together: it is cooked in the open, served hot and eaten together.
Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Office lunches and staff parties
- Garden get-togethers
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Christenings and family gatherings
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Your questions about paella catering in GU27
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring all the cooking equipment. Let us know what your venue has, like tables or crockery.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
