Common questions in Pickhurst
Do you come out to small places like Pickhurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Pulborough station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Pickhurst, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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’ll do the cooking.
- 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
