Common questions in Wick
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you cater in Wick?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Wick is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Think about shade and seating
We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Canapés for drinks receptions.

Wick is about 51 miles from central London, which makes it handy for team days out of the city. For staff and clients coming by train, the nearest station is Littlehampton station, about 0.8 miles south. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles, which suits team away days in the countryside. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Wick, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
