Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Which courses you have in mind
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
About our festival paella catering in Camber
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are frequently booked for charity and school events and village fêtes.
A fête near Camber might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Camber events: pitches and permissions
Camber is about 11 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Wherever your event is in the TN31 area, we’ll come to your venue or garden. Camber is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 27 miles away.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Thomas the Apostle, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. The coast is within about 3 miles of Camber, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
This part of East Sussex takes in TN31, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. We can cater an event on streets such as Denham Way, Scotts Acre and Old Lydd Road or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater events in Rye Harbour (1 mile west), East Guldeford (2 miles north-west), Rye (3 miles west), Playden (3 miles north-west) and Houghton Green (3 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Hastings (11 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south-west), St Leonards (12 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (10 miles south-west), Belmont (10 miles south-west) and Hollington (11 miles west).

For event organisers in Camber
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Paella compared with other options
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Fast service from the pan
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Evening events in Camber have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
