Paella party catering in Aldwick, made fresh on the day

A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater big family gatherings and milestone birthdays.

In a place like Aldwick, a garden party is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we will do the rest. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

The process

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Aldwick until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.

For event organisers in Aldwick

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Aldwick: your questions answered

Could we have live paella in West Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Can you cook near the sea around Aldwick?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

Can you supply plates?

We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.

Do you take everything away?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

What areas do you cover?

We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

Can you cater for children?

Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.

Is the paella gluten-free?

A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

DIY paella versus live catering

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 will do the cooking.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Have cover ready for a shower
Put out bins for general waste and recycling
Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
Have enough chairs for most guests

We are set up before guests arrive.

We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.

Parties in Aldwick: gardens, venues and local tips

Aldwick is about 1 mile south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Give us the address of your party in Aldwick, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Aldwick is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Aldwick to Brighton (25 miles away).

Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Richard’s Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Thinking of a party in West Park? Cooking in a public park typically needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice, with shelter from the breeze planned in.

We cater parties across the PO21 postcode area and the streets around it. We can cater a party on streets such as Fish Lane, Dark Lane and West Avenue. If your venue is just outside Aldwick, we also cover Nyetimber (1 mile west), Pagham (2 miles south-west), South Mundham (2 miles north-west), Fisher (3 miles north-west) and Sidlesham (3 miles west).
