About the dishes

Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella generally gets the photos.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Sunset in Salvington is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

Salvington questions
Can you cook near the sea around Salvington?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Which station should guests use for Salvington?
West Worthing station, about 1.2 miles south of the centre.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Live paella or other catering?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- A quote that spells everything out

Parties in Salvington: gardens, venues and local tips
Salvington is about 1 mile north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Whether your party is in the middle of Salvington or on the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Salvington is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We cook right across the region, from Salvington to Brighton (12 miles away).
Thinking of a party in Durrington Minature Railway? Cooking in a public park generally needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. Nearby historic houses include Ecclesden Manor (3.2 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Salvington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
Anywhere in BN13 and BN14, we can bring paella party catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Stone Lane, Links Road and Lindum Road, and we can cook for a party on any of them. Being close to the A24 and A27, Salvington is easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover parties in Offington (1 mile east), Worthing (1 mile south), Broadwater (1 mile south-east), Findon Valley (1 mile north) and East Worthing (3 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (13 miles west), Burgess Hill (15 miles north-east), Littlehampton (6 miles west), Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles east), Lancing (3 miles east) and Rustington (5 miles west).
A little further out are The Acre (1.9 miles south) and Old Castle (0.7 miles south). Not far away are Widewater Lagoon and Highdown Hill.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
