Live paella across KT4: what to know
Across KT4, we cook in 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in North Cheam, Worcester Park and Stoneleigh or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Worcester Park: For guests coming by train, Worcester Park station is about 0.7 miles away. Parks such as Hogsmill LNR generally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. In Worcester Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Why live paella works
Few dishes cope with mixed diets like paella, because each version is cooked in its own pan. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
In KT4 and nearby, we cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Milestone birthday parties
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Retirement and leaving parties
Live paella or other catering?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch.
Questions to ask before you book

About the dishes
Black rice
Black rice gets its colour from squid ink, and is typically served with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.
