About the dishes
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is a festival favourite.
Giant paella pans
The huge pan is the star.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. Summer events in Burgh Hill have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many courses
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

Burgh Hill events: pitches and permissions

Burgh Hill is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cook. Our events stretch from Burgh Hill to Brighton (28 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Holy Trinity, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Etchingham Church of England Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser.

We cook at events all over TN19 and the streets around it. Local streets include Fysie Lane and Burgh Hill; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella.
