About our paella party catering in Sutton Green
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. Popular choices include seafood paella, churros and tapas, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
A country party near Sutton Green is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check

Questions from Sutton Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Souls' Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we have live paella in Mayford Meadows?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Sutton Green until about 9:20pm, 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
