Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Catering across West Sussex, including Wineham

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat.

- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.

Preparing for the day

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
