Your questions about paella party catering in West Molesey
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Lower Hampton Road?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

A summer party in West Molesey stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Why choose live paella in West Molesey?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What you get with us
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- A clear, itemised quote
- Events in West Molesey and across Surrey
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. 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. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Warn the neighbours
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
What affects the price in West Molesey
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many courses
- The paellas you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- What the venue already provides
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
