Common questions in Horsted Keynes
Which station should guests use for Horsted Keynes?
Haywards Heath station, about 4 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
