Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Questions from Stanmer
Can you cook near the sea around Stanmer?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Stanmer close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
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. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
