Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Bar staff and sangria on request.

Common questions in Meads
Which station should guests use for Meads?
Eastbourne station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Do you cater in Meads?
Yes, we do. Meads is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Live paella or other catering?
For catering that’s part of the event, live paella stands out. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
