Live paella or other catering?

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

For a Christmas party in Goring-by-Sea, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Goring-by-Sea questions

Can you cook in Durrington Minature Railway?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What’s the nearest station to Goring-by-Sea for guests?

The closest is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Can the team help cook?

Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.

Do you cater at business parks?

Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Goring-by-Sea.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Can you provide dessert?

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
