Historic houses near Ebernoe include Petworth House (3.7 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Perfect for your party in Ebernoe
Any occasion works, from a first birthday to a ruby wedding.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Holy Trinity Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Common questions in Ebernoe
Is Ebernoe too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
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. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Warn the neighbours
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Give separate numbers for children
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
