Paella catering for your event in Littlewick Green
Watching it cook is part of the experience. Guests gather round as the sofrito sizzles and the saffron colours the rice, and the aroma does the rest. On the menu are seafood paella, vegan paella and paella Valenciana, and we are frequently booked for leaving dos and retirements and festivals, fairs and school events.
For a rural spot like Littlewick Green, the countryside is part of the appeal: a huge pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
About the dishes
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.
Black rice
Black rice looks dramatic and tastes of the sea.

What affects the price in Littlewick Green
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Littlewick Green, and we will put together a menu and price.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
A short rest after cooking helps, and that is when we invite guests up.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal, or serve your own cake.
How it works
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. Around midsummer it stays light in Littlewick Green until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
