About our paella party catering in Woolbeding
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. On the menu are tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and we are regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and neighbourhood celebrations.
Country parties near Woolbeding suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:

- Summer garden parties
- Big family gatherings
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as The Parish Church of All Hollows, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Catering across West Sussex, including Woolbeding

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Sunset in Woolbeding is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
