Watersfield questions

Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?

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

Which station should guests use for Watersfield?

Pulborough station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.

Do you cater at business parks?

Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Watersfield?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Do you cater for young children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. In Watersfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Should I cook it myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
