Your questions about corporate paella catering in Sedlescombe
Is Sedlescombe too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Sedlescombe?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Sedlescombe, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Planning a team event in Sedlescombe
Sedlescombe is about 5 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. We cook at work events in gardens, halls and venues around Sedlescombe and the surrounding area. Sedlescombe is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we cook. Our events stretch from Sedlescombe to Brighton (30 miles away).
For staff and clients coming by train, Battle station is about 2.3 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Durhamford Manor (0.7 miles north-west) and Great Dixter (4.9 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 8 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

About the dishes

Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
