Northease questions
What’s the nearest station to Northease for guests?
Southease station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Lewes and Laughton Levels?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Northease.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Think about shade and seating
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Get facilities approval early
We adapt if timings change.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
Should I cook it myself?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
