The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like West End Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How much tapas do we need?
It depends on whether they’re a starter, canapés or the whole meal. We’ll suggest quantities for your event.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it’s light in West End Green until about 9:25pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:10pm; winter receptions, dark by 4:00pm, are better indoors.

Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Access to unload near the serving area
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
- Space to finish hot dishes
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Patatas bravas
- Croquetas
- Serrano ham
- Padrón peppers
- Albóndigas
- Tortilla española
- Gambas al ajillo
- Manchego & membrillo
- Olives & bread
- Chorizo in red wine
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Is live paella right for your event?
Standard canapés can feel samey. Spanish tapas bring colour and flavour. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
