How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Steyning, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Tell us when you want to eat

How to get a price

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Questions from Steyning

How far is Steyning from London?

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cook near the sea around Steyning?

Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

Can we pay by invoice?

Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through it.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

How much space do you need?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Do you do desserts?

We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
