The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. A summer party in America Ground stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Your questions about paella party catering in America Ground
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Which station should guests use for America Ground?
America Ground has its own station: Hastings station.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What about pudding?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you cater in America Ground?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including America Ground. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Give separate numbers for children
At food time, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Sangria sets the mood.
