Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.

- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- 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.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Botolphs questions
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 Botolphs?
Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 3.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
