Beckley for staff parties and team days
Beckley is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. From the centre of Beckley to the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Beckley is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 28 miles away.
Beckley is about 48 miles from central London, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. Historic houses near Beckley include Great Dixter (2.3 miles west) and Smallhythe Place (4.4 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for caterers. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.
We cook at work events all over TN31 and the streets around it. Your work event could be at a home on King's Bank Lane, Royal Oak Close and Whitebread Lane. Beckley is on the B2088, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van and pans. Other places close to Beckley for corporate paella catering include Flackley Ash (2 miles east), Northiam (2 miles north-west), Beckley Furnace (2 miles south-west), Peasmarsh (2 miles south-east) and Broadland Row (3 miles south). We also cook in nearby towns such as Hastings (9 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles south-west), St Leonards (10 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (9 miles south), Belmont (9 miles south) and Hollington (9 miles south-west).
A little further out are Ypres Tower (4.7 miles south-east). Not far away are Flatropers Wood.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Rose And Crown Inn (0.9 miles west)
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Beckley
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Which station should guests use for Beckley?
Winchelsea station, about 4.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

Questions to ask before you book
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
- Allergen information for each dish
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
- The venue requirements
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Where we can cook in Beckley
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Crockery and staff can be added.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Beckley, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Let us know the timings for the day
