DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Redhill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Let us know the timings for the day

Redhill parties: what to know
Redhill is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. Anywhere in RH1, we can bring the pans to you. Redhill is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 18 miles away.
Thinking of a party in Nutfield Marshes? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. After a christening at a church like Saint Matthew's Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Redhill, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
For paella party catering in RH1 and RH2, we plan around your venue. Whether your party is on High Street, Station Road and Church Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the pans to you.

Why choose live paella in Redhill?
If you want special but not formal, live paella is hard to beat. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What affects the price in Redhill
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Whether you need crockery
- Timings and hours
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Redhill: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Redhill?
Redhill has its own station: Redhill station.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
What space do you need to cook?

Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
How far in advance should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We’ll check availability straight away.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
