DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Your questions about paella party catering in Brockham
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Brockham?
Betchworth station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Is my garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a picture of the space.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Let the neighbours know
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
Children love watching the paella cook, at a safe distance.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
