DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Why choose paella party catering in West Town?
It works whatever the occasion, from a first birthday to a ruby wedding.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Family reunions
- Birthday parties
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
Historic houses near West Town include Warblington Castle (3.9 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why West Town hosts choose us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- A clear, itemised quote
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Questions from West Town
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Which station should guests use for West Town?
The closest is Fratton station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Is my garden big enough?
Typically, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.
Do you come to West Town?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including West Town. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is paella OK for kids?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in West Town 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.
