Paella party catering for your party in Winchelsea Beach
Mixed groups are easy: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Whether it is family reunions and neighbourhood celebrations, we can cook churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.

Winchelsea Beach: your questions answered
How far is Winchelsea Beach from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at St Richard: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables can be added.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. Send your date and we’ll check.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Winchelsea Beach stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
