Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Running an event in Arundel
Arundel is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Across the BN18 area, we’ll come to your venue or garden. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 19 miles away.
If your event is in Arundel Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork. School fairs, for a school like St Philip's Catholic Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall. Within about 4 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. The coast is within about 4 miles of Arundel, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
We cover events in every part of the BN18 postcode area. That could mean an event in a garden on London Road, High Street and Arundel Relief Road or the roads around them. With the A27 and A284 close by, Arundel is simple for us to get to. Nearby, we also cater events in Crossbush (1 mile south-east), Tortington (1 mile south-west), Warningcamp (2 miles east), Lyminster (2 miles south) and Ford (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (7 miles east), Bognor Regis (7 miles south-west), Chichester (10 miles west), Selsey (13 miles south-west), Littlehampton (3 miles south-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Arundel Castle (less than half a mile north-east) and Arundel and District Hospital (within half a mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Bignor Hill and WWT Arundel.
- Pubs nearby include The Newburgh Arms (under half a mile east)
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Check allergen info is on display
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For an evening event in Arundel, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
