Could we have live paella in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have cover ready for a shower
Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. A summer party in Angmering stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
