Our paella catering in GU5
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, very little goes to waste, and the food is served hot. It is why live paella suits so many kinds of event. On the menu are vegetable paella, paella Valenciana and black rice, and typical bookings are for anniversary celebrations and garden parties and summer barbecues.
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Prices in GU5
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Planning live paella in GU5
GU5 covers everything from Bramley, Wonersh and Gomshall to 15 small villages and hamlets, and live paella suits every kind of setting. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access. Parts of GU5 are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking.
Bramley: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Shalford Mill? Public parks usually need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Catherine's School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Bramley stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Dishes our guests love
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- 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. Nobody gets a token ‘special meal’.
These are some of the occasions we cater around GU5:
- Fairs, fêtes and festivals
- Christenings and family gatherings
- Retirement celebrations
- Summer garden parties
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.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
FAQs for GU5
How many different paellas?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Does paella work for big events?
It is ideal. Big pans feed plenty of people, and service from the pan is quick.
What seafood can we have?
Tell us your preferences and we’ll suggest seafood options to suit your menu and budget. Premium shellfish can be added.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
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 for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
