Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Your questions about paella party catering in Flishinghurst
What’s the nearest station to Flishinghurst for guests?
Marden station, about 4.6 miles north of the centre.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.

How long do you need on site?

What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a late-May party in Flishinghurst, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- 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’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
Is live paella right for your party?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
