What else we do in Rock-a-Nore
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- We cover Rock-a-Nore and the whole of East Sussex
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll send what you need.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. December events in Rock-a-Nore are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Tell us when you want to eat
