Live paella party catering in Ewhurst Green
Paella party catering in Ewhurst Green, cooked live
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues in and around Ewhurst Green. Whether it is garden parties and summer barbecues and street and neighbourhood parties, we can cook churros, vegetable paella and seafood paella for your guests.
In a small place like Ewhurst Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there is no host stuck at the grill. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the pan
Planning a party in Ewhurst Green

Ewhurst Green is one of 395 places in Surrey where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Ewhurst Green to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
Thinking of a party in Sayer's Croft LNR? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first.

What affects the price in Ewhurst Green
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The courses you’d like
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Ewhurst Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Ewhurst Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook in Sayer's Croft LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
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.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ewhurst Green.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Ewhurst Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
