How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Rustington have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Common questions in Rustington
Can you cook near the sea around Rustington?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Could we have live paella in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
