Our paella catering in RG22
One cooking area feeds a lot of people, there is very little waste, and the food arrives hot. That is why it works for so many events. We’re often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and company summer parties, serving vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear 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.
What it costs in RG22
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Paella catering in RG22: local guide
From Basingstoke, Kempshott and Buckskin to 0 villages and hamlets, events across RG22 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.
Kempshott: For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Basingstoke station, about 2.8 miles north-east. Historic houses near Kempshott include The Vyne (4.9 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. Around midsummer it stays light in Kempshott until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, so everyone can eat at the same time.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Questions from RG22
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Which paellas do you recommend?
Most events choose two or three: chicken or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. See the sample menu.
Where do you cater?
