Paella catering near Bognor Regis
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ensure each pan is labelled
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further.
About our paella catering in Bognor Regis
Paella is generous food: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It makes the food an event in itself. Popular choices include paella Valenciana, mixed paella and vegan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater garden get-togethers and weddings, from canapés to evening food.
Bognor Regis is a large place with every kind of venue, from hotels and function rooms to big back gardens. Whichever you choose, the cooking spot just needs to be level and ventilated, and town-centre parking is worth mentioning when you enquire. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury.
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
