Live paella party catering in Potter's Green
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. A summer party in Potter's Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Plan cover in case of rain

In a small place like Potter's Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Potter's Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Potter's Green for guests?
Potter's Green has its own station: Buxted station.
Do you come out to small places like Potter's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
