DIY paella versus live catering

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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

How it works

We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. In Swaile's Green, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Swaile's Green: your questions answered

Is Swaile's Green too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Do you do desserts?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

Can you cook indoors?

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

Can you cook at our office?

Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

Working with your venue

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Historic houses near Swaile's Green include Durhamford Manor (1.2 miles south) and Great Dixter (3.9 miles north-east).

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why book with us

  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Catering across East Sussex, including Swaile's Green
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

Where we can cook in Swaile's Green

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
