DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
About our corporate paella catering in Hassocks
Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. Whether it is company summer parties and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches for your guests.
Work events near Hassocks might be at a farm venue, a barn or the office grounds. Paella suits all of them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Common questions in Hassocks
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Hassocks close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space, if you can

It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Get facilities approval early
Service is timed to your schedule, lunchtime or evening.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
