The closest is Appleford station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
How far in advance should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. Send your date and we’ll check.

Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

Why choose paella party catering in Sutton Wick?
One big dish beats lots of fiddly ones, and there is little waste.
Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We frequently cook for:
- Big birthdays
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Street and neighbourhood parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
Nearby historic houses include Clifton Hampden Manor (4.2 miles east) and Appleton Manor (4.8 miles north-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

A summer party in Sutton Wick stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
