Stunts Green questions
Is Stunts Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
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.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
Is paella OK for kids?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How our paella party catering works in Stunts Green

Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Why choose live paella in Stunts Green?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Why Stunts Green hosts choose us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why choose paella party catering in Stunts Green?
It feeds a crowd without anyone stuck in the kitchen, and guests love it.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, it’s light in Stunts Green until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
