About our paella party catering in East Worldham
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Popular choices include churros, tapas and vegetable paella, and we’re often booked for milestone birthdays and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Near East Worldham, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in East Worldham
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

East Worldham questions
Is East Worldham close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How early should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. At midsummer, it is light in East Worldham until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
