Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

How our paella party catering works in Titsey
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children normally love a simple chicken paella. We cook mixed paella, churros and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and family get-togethers.
Country parties near Titsey suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Common questions in Titsey
Which station should guests use for Titsey?
Oxted station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James the Greater?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you come to Titsey?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Titsey and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We will check availability right away.
Planning a party in Titsey
Titsey is about 5 miles east of Caterham, in Surrey. Parties in Titsey are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. We cater in all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. We cook right across the region, from Titsey to London (16 miles away).
Historic houses near Titsey include Titsey Place (under half a mile west) and Quebec House (2.4 miles east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St James the Greater, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Titsey, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
For paella party catering in RH8, we plan around your venue and timings. If your venue is just outside Titsey, we also cover Tatsfield (1 mile north), Limpsfield (1 mile south-west), Moorhouse Bank (2 miles south-east), South Street (2 miles north-east) and The Chart (2 miles south).

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For a late-May party in Titsey, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Add a diet question to the invitation
Kids are fascinated by the huge pans, at a safe distance.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Where we can cook in Titsey
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
