FAQs for Kingston by Sea
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What documents can you provide?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. In Kingston by Sea, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
