Paella party catering in Punnett's Town, made fresh on the day
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. Whether it’s retirement and leaving parties and big family gatherings, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, churros and mixed paella and more.
In a small place like Punnett's Town, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. At midsummer, it is light in Punnett's Town until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- 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.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day

FAQs for Punnett's Town
Do you come out to small places like Punnett's Town?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability straight away.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Send us the date, your venue or TN21 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot

- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
