Why choose live paella in Alfriston?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Canapé tapas
- Paella lunches
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Bowl food
- Desserts
- Drinks service
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
