How paella catering works in GU3
Keep it simple, or go all out: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We will suggest what suits your event. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, paella Valenciana and black rice, and typical bookings are for office lunches and staff parties and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.

Paella catering in GU3: local guide
From Guildford, Woking and Stoughton to 14 villages and hamlets, events across GU3 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and live paella works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Wood Street Village: Historic houses near Wood Street Village include Wanborough Manor (1.9 miles south-west) and Loseley Park (2.6 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Wood Street Infant School, can book us as a food stall. In Wood Street Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch.

About the dishes
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Occasions we cook for in GU3
There’s no kitchen needed, so it works in gardens, fields and marquees where other catering struggles.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Milestone birthday parties
- Christenings and family gatherings
- Garden get-togethers
