How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. After-work summer parties in St Helen's have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

We cater in all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from St Helen's to Brighton (about 31 miles away).

FAQs for St Helen's
Could we have live paella in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cook near the sea around St Helen's?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in St Helen's?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
