Common questions in Amberley

Is Amberley close to London?

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.

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 will work to whatever the site needs.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Can you cook at our office?

Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Do you cater in Amberley?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Amberley. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning the cooking area

We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

Amberley for staff parties and team days

Amberley is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Anywhere in BN18, we’ll come to your venue or garden. Amberley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cook. Our events stretch from Amberley to Brighton (about 18 miles away).

For staff and clients coming by train, the nearest station is Amberley station, about 0.8 miles south-west. Central London is about 45 miles from Amberley, so it is a practical spot for away days and team events. With the South Downs National Park within about a mile, rural team days are easy to arrange.

Anywhere in BN18, we can bring corporate paella catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your work event is on School Road, Turnpike Road and Hog Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the pans to you.

What’s in the pans

Paella lunches

Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.

Bowl food

Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • Travel, parking and access
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • How many courses

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Details that help

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Where the event is
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Our caterer checklist

Catering for every guest

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.

The process

The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Amberley, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Plan cover in case of rain
