The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it’s light in North Cheam until about 9:20pm, 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.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

West Sutton station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Is parking a problem for events in North Cheam?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.

Churros

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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
