Common questions in Cripp's Corner
What’s the nearest station to Cripp's Corner for guests?
Robertsbridge station, about 3 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain booking and payment when you enquire.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Paella compared with other options
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Cripp's Corner is about 7 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. From the centre of Cripp's Corner to the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Cripp's Corner is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We cook right across the region, from Cripp's Corner to Brighton (30 miles away).
Central London is about 46 miles from Cripp's Corner, which makes it handy for team days out of the city.

What else we do in Cripp's Corner
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Cripp's Corner have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
