Bulverhythe events: pitches and permissions
Bulverhythe is about 1 mile west of St Leonards, in East Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Bulverhythe or on the outskirts, festival paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Bulverhythe is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We cook right across the region, from Bulverhythe to Brighton (29 miles away).
Running a fête for a church like St Ethelburga's Church Mission Hall? A paella pan draws people in. Events in parks such as Filsham Reedbed need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
We cook at events all over the TN38 and TN40 postcode area. Local streets include Haven Road, Bexhill Road and Arnside Road; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella. If your venue is just outside Bulverhythe, we also cover St Leonards (1 mile east), Silverhill (2 miles north-east), Hollington (2 miles north-east), Green Street (2 miles north) and Hastings (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (11 miles south-west), Hailsham (12 miles west), Polegate (12 miles west), Hastings Old Town (3 miles east), Old Town (12 miles south-west) and Belmont (3 miles east).

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
