Barcombe: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Barcombe?
Cooksbridge station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Barcombe too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Dishes our guests love
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Barcombe, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

Before you choose a spot
