Should I cook it myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Common questions in Wych Cross

How far is Wych Cross from London?

Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.

Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

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

Do you provide drinks?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Do you cook inside?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

How does payment work for businesses?

Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.

Do you come to Wych Cross?

Yes, we do. We cook at events in Wych Cross and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. December events in Wych Cross are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
