Paella catering for Wisborough Green events
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Paella catering in Wisborough Green, made fresh on the day
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Each is cooked separately, so diets are easy to manage. On the menu are mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Somewhere like Wisborough Green, a field or garden is frequently the perfect setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Wisborough Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
