Event catering near Titsey
Titsey is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Across the RH8 area, we’ll come to your venue or garden. Titsey is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cook. You can also see our page for London, about 16 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Oxted School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St James the Greater, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. Within about 8 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.

About our festival paella catering in Titsey
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. Typical bookings include county and country shows and open days, with vegan paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near Titsey can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
