How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a late-May party in West Kingston, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Planning a party in West Kingston
West Kingston is about 3 miles east of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. From the centre of West Kingston to the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. West Kingston is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cook. Our events stretch from West Kingston to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
After a christening at a church like St Andrew's Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Historic houses near West Kingston include Ecclesden Manor (1.7 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. West Kingston is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.

Live paella or other catering?
If you want special but not formal, live paella is hard to beat. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

West Kingston questions
Do you come out to small places like West Kingston?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for West Kingston?
Angmering station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Have bins ready
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
