FAQs for Winchelsea Beach
Which station should guests use for Winchelsea Beach?
Winchelsea station, about 1.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Winchelsea Beach too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. December events in Winchelsea Beach are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
Getting a price
