Hastings Old Town questions
How far is Hastings Old Town from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Can you cook near the sea around Hastings Old Town?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.
