Paella catering in RH14: what to expect
Paella is generous food: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It turns a meal into an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and big birthdays, with seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella.
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Planning live paella in RH14
There are 3 towns and 13 villages and hamlets in RH14, so whether your event is in Billingshurst, Wisborough Green and Loxwood or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Billingshurst: If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Historic houses near Billingshurst include Old Place Manor (4.9 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. Around midsummer it stays light in Billingshurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
For event organisers in RH14
Organising a club, school or community event in RH14? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Live paella or other catering?
Vans serve one order at a time. A paella pan serves many portions quickly, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together.
Questions to ask before booking
- How late numbers can change
- Staff numbers and hours
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tapas or canapés make a good start while the paella cooks.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella isn’t an afterthought: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron.
