Trumps Green is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Trumps Green to Guildford (10 miles away).
Historic houses near Trumps Green include Botleys Mansion (2.2 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. Parks such as Riverside Walk generally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there.
We cater events across GU25. Local streets include Tithe Close, Trumpsgreen Road and Tithe Meadows; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Live paella or other catering?
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, because each paella has its own pan. It is served quickly from the pan, so queues move. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Evenings in Trumps Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

About the dishes
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, not seafood. It’s often the most popular pan at an event.
