Questions from Portslade
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
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.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Facilities approval and any site rules
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For event organisers in Portslade
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Portslade? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. 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.
