Paella party catering in Soberton Heath, made fresh on the day
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. The food is our job. Typical bookings include street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and baby celebrations, with tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Near Soberton Heath, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Paella compared with other options
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there is no host stuck at the grill. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why book with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How long we are needed on site

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.

How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Soberton Heath stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Your questions about paella party catering in Soberton Heath
Is Soberton Heath close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
