How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Littleworth stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

FAQs for Littleworth
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Littleworth from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How many different paellas?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
