Paella catering in Bepton Common, made fresh on the day
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Each is cooked separately, so diets are easy to manage. Popular choices include vegetable paella, mixed paella and seafood paella, and we are often booked for christenings and family gatherings and festivals, fairs and school events.

Questions from Bepton Common
How far is Bepton Common from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which paellas do you recommend?
Two or three is usual: chicken or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. Our menu lists the options.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
What equipment do you bring?
Pans, burners and ingredients all come with us. You provide a suitable spot and access.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Bepton Common, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
