Why book with us

  • Paella cooked from scratch on site
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Catering across West Sussex, including Bucks Green
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

What paella party catering costs

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Whether you need crockery

  • How long we’re needed on site

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Put out bins for general waste and recycling
  • Collect dietary needs with your invites
  • Have cover ready for a shower
  • Give separate numbers for children

When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.

A jug of sangria sets the tone.

Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Is Bucks Green too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you serve drinks?

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

When should I book?

Will the neighbours notice?
