Live paella party catering in Warningcamp

How our paella party catering works in Warningcamp

You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. Popular choices include vegetable paella, mixed paella and tapas, and typical bookings are for baby celebrations and summer garden parties.

Country parties near Warningcamp suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

The process

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Warningcamp, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Getting a price

Is live paella right for your party?

Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What you get with us

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Events in Warningcamp and across West Sussex
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan

How to compare caterers

Catering for every guest

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Collect dietary needs with your invites
  • Have enough chairs for most guests
  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Give the neighbours a heads-up

We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.

Sangria sets the mood.

Planning the cooking area

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Warningcamp: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Warningcamp?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

What’s the nearest station to Warningcamp for guests?

Arundel station, about 1 mile west of the centre.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.

For event organisers in Warningcamp

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

About the dishes

Churros

Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate, a sweet finish.

Vegetable paella

Vegetarians get a real main course.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
