Paella party catering in Sinkhurst Green, cooked live
It is 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. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and retirement celebrations, serving churros, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
Near Sinkhurst Green, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Is live paella right for your party?
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Common questions in Sinkhurst Green
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Sinkhurst Green.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. For a late-May party in Sinkhurst Green, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
