Hampers Green events: pitches and permissions
Hampers Green is about 13 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. For festival paella catering in Hampers Green, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. Hampers Green is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We cook right across the region, from Hampers Green to Guildford (17 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as The Church of St Mary the Virgin, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Hampers Green, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
We cook at events all over GU28 and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as London Road, Hampers Green and Northend Close or the roads around them.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Paella compared with other options
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Summer events in Hampers Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
