Paella party catering in Easebourne, made fresh on the day
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a photo. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and family get-togethers, serving tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
In a small place like Easebourne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Live paella or other catering?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

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. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Warn the neighbours
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Your questions about paella party catering in Easebourne
How far is Easebourne from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How many different paellas?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

After a christening at a church like The Parish Church of St Mary, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Easebourne is within about a mile of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cook at parties all over GU29. Whether your party is on Fox Road, Hanover Court and Highfield Close or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the pans to you.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Easebourne 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.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
