Paella party catering for your party in Kingsley Green
Paella is made for relaxed parties: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. Whether it’s family get-togethers and christenings and naming days, we can cook vegetable paella, churros and mixed paella for your guests.
A country party near Kingsley Green is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Kingsley Green: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Kingsley Green 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 if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Is live paella right for your party?
