Paella party catering in Flowers Green, made fresh on the day
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and churros, and we’re regularly asked to cater family reunions and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
A country party near Flowers Green is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What paella party catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware

Paella compared with other options
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. Book us and you’re free to enjoy it. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Common questions in Flowers Green
Which station should guests use for Flowers Green?
The closest is Pevensey Bay station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Herstmonceux Free Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A photo helps.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
