Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Hurstpierpoint: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hurstpierpoint for guests?
Hassocks station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.
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’ll follow the site rules.
What space do you need to cook?
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 photo.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

How it works

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- A quote that spells everything out
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
