With the South Downs National Park within about 4 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Questions from Norton
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 about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Norton, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
