Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Evening events in Roser's Cross have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Common questions in Roser's Cross
Which station should guests use for Roser's Cross?
Buxted station, about 3.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cook in Passingworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can we book you as a trader?
