Questions from Nutbourne
Do you trade at school fairs around Nutbourne?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Nutbourne close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Will there be long queues?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Live paella or other catering?
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.
Why us?
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Catering across West Sussex, including Nutbourne

How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For an evening event in Nutbourne, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
