How it works

Sunset in Skittle Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

FAQs for Skittle Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Skittle Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check

What affects the price in Skittle Green
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
