About our paella party catering in Roser's Cross
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Whether it is christenings and naming days and big family gatherings, we will put together a menu of mixed paella, seafood paella and tapas.
In a small place like Roser's Cross, 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Is live paella right for your party?
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you are a guest too. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Roser's Cross: your questions answered
Is Roser's Cross close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
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.
