Planning an event in Dukes Green?
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
About our paella party catering in Dukes Green
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the party menu is complete. Typical bookings include celebrations of life and anniversaries and engagement parties, with tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Plan seats for most guests
- Count adults and children separately
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Dukes Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Common questions in Dukes Green
Is Dukes Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
