For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

What affects the price in Crowborough

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • How many guests are eating
  • The length of service

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Common questions in Crowborough

What’s the nearest station to Crowborough for guests?

Crowborough station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.

How far is Crowborough from London?

About 33 miles from central London.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Do you do starters?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

Is halal food available?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

Is the paella cooked on site?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Space, weather and the venue

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

The process

When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Crowborough, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Catering for every guest

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing

We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
