Is live paella right for your work event?

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • A clear, itemised quote
  • We cover Warninglid and the whole of West Sussex
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Organising for someone else?

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

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Warninglid questions

Is Warninglid too small for live paella?

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

Which station should guests use for Warninglid?

Balcombe station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.

What space do you need to cook?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.

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 provide plates and cutlery?

Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.

Do you cater for young children?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

How much paella per person?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

How the day works

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Warninglid are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
