Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:

Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Should I cook it 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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- 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. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The venue or postcode
- Which courses you have in mind
- Diets and allergies you know about

Fairs, fêtes and events in Street End
Street End is about 4 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. Tell us where your event in Street End will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex. We cook right across the region, from Street End to Southampton (about 28 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, Chichester station is about 3.2 miles away. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. The coast is within about 5 miles of Street End, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, and seafood paella sells well by the sea.
For festival paella catering in PO20, we plan around your venue. Your event could be at a home on Church Lane, Selsey Road and Chalder Lane. Other places close to Street End for festival paella catering include Sidlesham Common (1 mile north-west), Sidlesham (1 mile south), Keynor Estate (1 mile south), Fisher (1 mile north-east) and South Mundham (2 miles north-east). We also cook in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (5 miles east), Chichester (4 miles north), Selsey (4 miles south), Littlehampton (11 miles east), Emsworth (8 miles north-west) and Rustington (12 miles east).
A little further out are Chichester Castle (3.8 miles north) and Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.4 miles north).
Live paella or other catering?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Street End questions
Is Street End too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
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 you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What does festival paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What happens on the day
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 while your guests chat. For an evening event in Street End, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
