Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. A summer party in Crowhurst 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Common questions in Crowhurst
Is Crowhurst too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Crowhurst from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
How early should we book?

What does paella party catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Is my garden big enough?
Typically, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Warn the neighbours
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
