Colworth questions
Can you cook in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How far is Colworth from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Planning help
Colworth for staff parties and team days
Colworth is about 2 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. For corporate paella catering in Colworth, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. Colworth is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We cook right across the region, from Colworth to Brighton (about 25 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Bognor Regis station is about 2.5 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (4 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

We also cook at work events in Merston (1 mile west), Oving (2 miles north-west), Lagness (2 miles south-west), Runcton (2 miles west) and Shopwyke (2 miles north-west).

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
The cooking area stays tidy.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
