Westbourne questions

Is Westbourne close to London?

Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.

Could we have live paella in Stansted Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What documents can you provide?

Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.

Can you cater a winter event?

Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.

What space do you need to cook?

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

Can you supply plates?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

How much paella per person?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

How much is live paella catering?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

How we price corporate paella catering

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • How many guests are eating
  • How many staff you need
  • Timings and hours
  • The paellas you choose

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Details that help

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Expected numbers
  • Where the event is
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The date and time of the event

Paella compared with other options

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What you get with us

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • We cover Westbourne and the whole of West Sussex
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan

  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.

DIY paella versus live catering

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. December events in Westbourne are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat
