Dishes our guests love
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more to start.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in West Wittering
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cover West Wittering?
Yes, we do. West Wittering is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
