Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (3.9 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for caterers. Fishbourne is about 55 miles from central London, which makes it handy for team days out of the city.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
What affects the price in Fishbourne
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
