Our paella catering in RG27
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We’ll recommend what fits your event. Popular choices include black rice, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and fairs, fêtes and festivals.
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.

Catering events across RG27
Across RG27, we cook in 3 towns and 32 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hook, Hartley Wintney and Chineham to a quiet hamlet: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.
Hook: For a christening or wedding at a church such as St John the Evangelist, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Hook Junior School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. In Hook, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What paella catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
- Tell us what else is being served
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t provide them.
