How our paella party catering works in Green Street
Paella is relaxed food: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. We cook mixed paella, seafood paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for family reunions and milestone birthdays.
A country party near Green Street is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Green Street: your questions answered
How far is Green Street from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Green Street too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Parties in Green Street: gardens, venues and local tips
Green Street is about 2 miles west of Hastings, in East Sussex. We bring paella party catering to homes, gardens and venues in Green Street. Green Street is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our events stretch from Green Street to Brighton (28 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St George, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Durhamford Manor (4.4 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Tapas

Seafood paella

Is live paella right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Catering for every guest

- Let the neighbours know
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have bins ready
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Green Street stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
