Is live paella right for your work event?

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Planning a team event in Hangleton

Hangleton is about 1 mile north-west of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. Across the BN3 area, we’ll come to your venue or garden. Hangleton is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we cook.

Hangleton is about 45 miles from central London, so it is a practical spot for away days and team events. For staff and clients coming by train, Portslade station is about 1 mile away. With the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

With the A2038 close by, Hangleton is simple for us to get to. Nearby, we also cater work events in Portslade (1 mile south-west), Southwick (2 miles south-west), Kingston by Sea (2 miles west), Fulking (3 miles north) and Shoreham-by-Sea (3 miles west).

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Hangleton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Questions from Hangleton

Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

What about events near the coast?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. Find your area.

How long do you need on site?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Do you do Christmas parties?

Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Can you provide dessert?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
