FAQs for Langney
What’s the nearest station to Langney for guests?
Pevensey & Westham station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cook in Princes Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your list and we’ll respond.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Schedule crew meals
- Check allergen info is on display
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check how many portions traders can serve
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Bowl food for easy eating on the move.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Giant paella pans
The giant pan is the star.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, events in Langney stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Let us know the timings for the day

What festival paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out in a food line-up. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
