Common questions in Rotherbridge
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Rotherbridge from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What does festival paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For event organisers in Rotherbridge
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. For an evening event in Rotherbridge, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
