Sandwich Bay Estate: your questions answered
How far is Sandwich Bay Estate from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Check allergen info is on display
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Crew, volunteer and VIP catering.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Where we can cook in Sandwich Bay Estate
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
