Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Provide seating near the food
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Extra pans for busy periods.
Event catering near Amberley
Amberley is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Amberley or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Amberley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cook right across the region, from Amberley to Brighton (18 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Amberley CofE Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. If your event is in Parham Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork. Within about a mile is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
For festival paella catering in BN18, we plan around your venue and timings. Local streets include School Road, Turnpike Road and Hog Lane; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella. Other places close to Amberley for festival paella catering include Cross Gate (1 mile north-east), Bury (1 mile west), Rackham (1 mile east), Watersfield (2 miles north-west) and West Burton (2 miles west). We also cook in nearby towns such as Horsham (14 miles north-east), Worthing (8 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (10 miles south-west), Chichester (12 miles south-west), Littlehampton (7 miles south) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles south-east).

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Amberley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
