Paella party catering in Litlington, made fresh on the day
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. We are frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, serving vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Country parties near Litlington suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.

Common questions in Litlington
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How far is Litlington from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a photo of the space.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Litlington stays light until about 9:15pm 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.

- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
