What affects the price in Old Heathfield

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • How many staff you need
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • The number of people
  • How long we’re needed on site

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Choosing a paella caterer

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Old Heathfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload

FAQs for Old Heathfield

Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Is Old Heathfield close to London?

Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What space do you need to cook?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Do you cook it at the event?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
