How our paella party catering works in Keeper's Corner
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and milestone birthdays, serving tapas, churros and vegetable paella.
A country party near Keeper's Corner is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A summer party in Keeper's Corner stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Questions from Keeper's Corner
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Count adults and children separately
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Have cover ready for a shower
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
