Running an event in Felpham
Felpham is about 1 mile east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO22, we’ll come to your venue or garden. Felpham is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our events stretch from Felpham to Brighton (23 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Felpham Community College, are a natural fit for a paella stall. Events in parks such as The Brooks Local Nature Reserve need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for. The coast is within about a mile of Felpham, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
We cook at events all over the PO22 and PO21 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on Sea Road, Ley Road and Limmer Lane or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Felpham, we also cover South Bersted (1 mile west), Flansham (1 mile north-east), Bognor Regis (1 mile west), Middleton-on-Sea (2 miles east) and Shripney (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (11 miles east), Chichester (6 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Lancing (15 miles east) and Emsworth (13 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Bognor Regis Museum (1.2 miles south-west) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (1 mile west).
- Schools near Felpham include Downview Primary School (0.5 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include The Thatched House (under half a mile south-east)

What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Evening events in Felpham have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan cover in case of rain

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Your questions about festival paella catering in Felpham
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Felpham close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you come to Felpham?
We do. Felpham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
