Common questions in The Haven

Is The Haven close to London?

Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.

Do you come out to small places like The Haven?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can you cook indoors?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Do you cover The Haven?

Yes, we do. We cook at events in The Haven and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.

Can the team help cook?

Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll see what works.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Can you cook at our office?

Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

What corporate paella catering costs

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Guest numbers
  • The length of service

Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What to tell us

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Where the event is
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

How it works

When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. In The Haven, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  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.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
