How to compare caterers

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Your questions about paella party catering in Slindon Common

How far is Slindon Common from London?

Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.

Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Do you do desserts?

We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.

Do you cater in Slindon Common?

Yes, we do. We cook at events in Slindon Common and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

What does paella party catering cost?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Will there be enough food?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Do you cook inside?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Plates, cutlery and glassware

The process

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Slindon Common stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
