After-work summer parties in Normans' Bay have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Questions from Normans' Bay
Is Normans' Bay close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Normans' Bay?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What affects the price in Normans' Bay
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- How many staff you need
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and rough timings
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.
