Common questions in Ferring

Could we have live paella in Durrington Minature Railway?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Can you cook near the sea around Ferring?

Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

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.

Do you cater at business parks?

Courtyards and terraces often work, subject to the building’s rules.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

What happens if it rains?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.

Can the team help cook?

Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

What affects the price in Ferring

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • The paellas you choose
  • Guest numbers

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • The address or venue name
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Ferring, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Give us a contact for the day

Planning help

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
