What affects the price in Battle
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many guests are eating
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

- The venue or postcode

Party venues around Battle
Battle is about 5 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Parties in Battle are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Battle to Brighton (about 27 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Durhamford Manor (2.4 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Questions from Battle
Is Battle close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Battle until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
