FAQs for Abingworth
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Abingworth too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Abingworth?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Abingworth have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
