For event organisers in Brockhill
Organising a club, school or community event in Brockhill? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
What affects the price in Brockhill
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- The length of service
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and time of the event

FAQs for Brockhill
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Brockhill?
The closest is Martins Heron station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Of course. Tapas can be booked without paella.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
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.
What’s in the pans
Croquetas
Creamy croquettes with a crisp coat, often with ham or mushroom.
Manchego & membrillo
Spanish sheep’s cheese with quince paste.

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ensure dishes are labelled
