Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Give separate numbers for children
- Have bins ready
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.

Martyr's Green parties: what to know
Martyr's Green is about 5 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey. We bring paella party catering to gardens, halls and venues around Martyr's Green. Martyr's Green is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cook. Our events stretch from Martyr's Green to Guildford (7 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Effingham Junction station is about 1.2 miles away. Parks such as The Forest and the Highlands normally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Martyr's Green is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cover parties in every part of the KT11 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Old Lane and Ockham Lane, and we can cook for a party on any of them. If your venue is just outside Martyr's Green, we also cover Hatchford (1 mile north-east), Hatchford End (1 mile north-west), Downside (1 mile north-east), Wisley (2 miles north-west) and Pyrford Green (3 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Guildford (7 miles south-west), Woking (6 miles west), Camberley (13 miles west), Epsom (8 miles east), Horley (15 miles south-east) and Redhill (13 miles east).
A little further out are Send and Ripley History Society Museum (2.4 miles west) and Woking Community Hospital (5.1 miles west). The countryside around Martyr's Green includes Boldermere Lake and Papercourt Marshes.
- Pubs nearby include The Black Swan pub (within half a mile north)
The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Martyr's Green 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.

What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
- The number of people
- The length of service
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
