Ewell questions
Which station should guests use for Ewell?
Ewell West station, in Ewell itself.
How far is Ewell from London?
Roughly 12 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Have bins ready
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. At midsummer, it is light in Ewell until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.

Questions to ask before booking
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- How long the team stays
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- When payment is due
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from 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.

Hosting a paella party in Ewell
Ewell is about 10 miles south of Kensington, in Surrey. From the centre of Ewell to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Ewell is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our events stretch from Ewell to London (about 12 miles away).
Parks such as Hogsmill LNR generally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is frequently easier. For guests coming by train, Ewell has its own station, Ewell West station. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Ewell, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We cook at parties all over KT19, KT17 and SM2 and the streets around it. From London Road, High Street and Church Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the pans to you. Main roads around Ewell include the A24 and A232, so getting the burners and pans to your party is simple.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Ewell hosts choose us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- A quote that spells everything out
