Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

One big dish beats lots of fiddly ones, and there’s little waste.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Big birthdays

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have bins ready
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Burwash Weald: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Philip's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Burwash Weald too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A photo helps.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
How much does paella party catering cost in Burwash Weald?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you do sangria?
