Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, without any fuss. We’re frequently asked to cater anniversary celebrations and retirement celebrations, serving seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas.
For a party in Row Town, your garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we will bring everything else. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Row Town parties: what to know
Row Town is about 3 miles west of Weybridge, in Surrey. Across the KT15 area, we’ll come to your venue or garden. We cook in 395 places in Surrey. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 9 miles away.
If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Addlestone station, about 1.2 miles north-east. Nearby historic houses include Botleys Mansion (1.4 miles north-west) and Byfleet Manor (2.9 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Nearby, we also cater parties in Ottershaw (1 mile west), Woodham (1 mile south), Chertsey (2 miles north), West Byfleet (2 miles south) and Lyne (2 miles north-west). We also cook in nearby towns such as Guildford (9 miles south), Woking (4 miles south-west), Camberley (10 miles west), Epsom (10 miles east), Ewell (11 miles east) and Egham (5 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Runnymede Hospital (1.3 miles north-west) and The Hockey Museum (3.8 miles south-west). The countryside around Row Town includes Abbey Lake and St Ann's Hill.

Questions from Row Town
We’re having a ceremony at St Paul's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Row Town for guests?
The closest is Addlestone station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
How many paellas should we have?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it’s light in Row Town until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or KT15 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
