Paella party catering in Rowledge, made fresh on the day
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. We cook churros, mixed paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and leaving dos and retirements.
In a small place like Rowledge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Warn the neighbours
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Have cover ready for a shower
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Tapas to start keep hunger at bay.

What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many staff you need
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The courses you’d like
- The date and time of the event
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your party, and we will suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Rowledge questions
We’re having a ceremony at Saint James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is generally the best advert for the party.

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
