Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have bins ready
Booked staff help serve and clear.
Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

Your questions about paella party catering in Robertsbridge
Do you come out to small places like Robertsbridge?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Robertsbridge United Reformed Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Will the neighbours notice?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Why choose paella party catering in Robertsbridge?
It brings a bit of holiday feeling to a garden party.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We regularly cater:
- Family get-togethers
- Retirement celebrations
- Birthday parties
- Wakes and celebrations of life
After a christening at a church like Robertsbridge United Reformed Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Before booking anyone
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
- The deadline for final numbers
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- Plates, cutlery and napkins, or disposables
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
