About paella catering in SP10
Paella is generous food: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It makes the food an event in itself. We’re often asked to cater family celebrations and christenings and staff parties and work lunches, with mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- We cook live on the day while guests watch.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Live paella across SP10: what to know
SP10 covers everything from Andover, Picket Twenty and Finkley Down to 5 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.
Andover: For guests coming by train, Andover station is about 0.5 miles away. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Planning an evening event in Andover? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
