Woolbeding questions
Do you come out to small places like Woolbeding?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Woolbeding from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- We cover Woolbeding and the whole of West Sussex
