Paella party catering in Tuesley, made fresh on the day
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For leaving dos and retirements and milestone birthdays, we can cook churros, seafood paella and mixed paella for your guests.
A country party near Tuesley is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Why choose live paella in Tuesley?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Tuesley: your questions answered
Is Tuesley too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables can be added.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

What else we do in Tuesley
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How it works
Serving is fast: 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 Tuesley stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
