FAQs for Hastings
Can you cook near the sea around Hastings?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Could we have live paella in Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
