What you get with us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Fast service from the pan
- We cover Burwash and the whole of East Sussex
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
About the dishes
Vegetable paella
Vegetable paella in its own right, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
Questions from Burwash
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we will check.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Have bins ready
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Plan seats for most guests
Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Burwash, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
