Paella party catering in Twineham

What happens on the day

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 the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Twineham 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.

  1. Send us your date, address and numbers.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We set up before guests arrive.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Guest numbers

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Which courses you have in mind
  • What the venue already provides
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • The date and rough timings

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
