Common questions in Framfield
Could we have live paella in Hempstead Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Framfield too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater at business parks?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, if the building allows it.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s 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 Framfield have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why choose Love Paella in Framfield
- Fast service from the pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Get facilities approval early
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
