Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. For wakes and celebrations of life and big family gatherings, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and churros for your guests.

What paella party catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
- How long we’re needed on site
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of the space, if you can
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Bognor Regis stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the 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.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Questions from Bognor Regis
Could we have live paella in West Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is Bognor Regis close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How early should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Tell us how many children are coming
Kids are fascinated by the huge pans.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.

For event organisers in Bognor Regis
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning a party in Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is in West Sussex. Tell us where your party in Bognor Regis will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Bognor Regis is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We cook right across the region, from Bognor Regis to Brighton (24 miles away).
Thinking of a party in West Park? Cooking in a public park normally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. After a christening at a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. The coast is within about a mile, so seafood paella frequently features, with shelter from the breeze planned in.
Here we cover the PO21 and PO22 postcode area. From Station Road, London Road and Manet Square or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the pans to you. Being close to the A29 and A259, Bognor Regis is simple for us to get to with everything for your party. Close by, we cover parties in South Bersted (1 mile north-east), Aldwick (1 mile south-west), Felpham (1 mile east), Shripney (2 miles north-east) and Lagness (2 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (13 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-west), Selsey (6 miles south-west), Littlehampton (7 miles east), Emsworth (12 miles west) and Rustington (8 miles east). Bognor Regis is among the bigger towns we cover in West Sussex, with plenty of venues for parties.
Nearby you will also find Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (0.5 miles east) and Tote Copse Castle (3.1 miles north).
- Nearby schools include Southway Primary School (less than half a mile north-west)
- Pubs nearby include Norfolk Hotel (0.7 miles south-east)
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
