Your questions about paella party catering in Avisford
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Avisford too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Generally, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.

The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Avisford 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.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
