DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Bowl food for standing events.
Paella compared with other options
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Catering across West Sussex, including Rudgwick
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Real theatre, not just catering

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. After-work summer parties in Rudgwick have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

Rudgwick: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Rudgwick from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It’s ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
