Live festival paella catering in Bramber
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan, popular with families.
Vegan paella
Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why choose Love Paella in Bramber
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Expected numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Bramber have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Questions from Bramber
Can you cook in Hillside Park (parke sa Hiniusang Gingharian)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Which station should guests use for Bramber?
Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 4.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
