Live paella or other catering?

For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

DIY paella versus live catering

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.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Work events in Seaford: access and travel

Seaford is about 8 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Wherever your work event is in the BN25 area, we can cook for your guests. We cover 289 places across East Sussex. Our events stretch from Seaford to Brighton (11 miles away).

Seaford is about 51 miles from central London, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. By road, Seaford is on or near the A259, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van and equipment. With the South Downs National Park within about 3 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about a mile, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Wherever your work event is in BN25, we can cook for your guests. Local streets include High Street, Station Road and East Albany Road; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. Being close to the A259, Seaford is easy for us to reach. If your venue is just outside Seaford, we also cover Bishopstone (1 mile north-west), Norton (2 miles north-west), Tide Mills (2 miles west), Westdean (2 miles east) and Dukes Green (3 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (8 miles east), Lewes (8 miles north-west), Hailsham (9 miles north-east), Uckfield (13 miles north), Newhaven (3 miles north-west) and Peacehaven (5 miles west). Being one of East Sussex’s larger places, Seaford has lots of places to hold a work event.

Other landmarks nearby include Newhaven Museum (2.9 miles north-west) and Arlington Castle (3.7 miles north-east). Not far away are Firle Beacon.

  • Nearby schools include St Peter's School (under half a mile south-west) and Seaford Head School (0.5 miles south-east)

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Seaford

What about events near the coast?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

Is Seaford close to London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

What paperwork do you have?

Send us the venue’s requirements.

What about pudding?

We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

Do you come to Seaford?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Seaford is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Do you work in winter?

With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

What we need at the venue

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

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

Organising for someone else?

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

How the day works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Seaford, 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 arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
