How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. At midsummer, it’s light in Cackle Street until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

Is live paella right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
See Our prices page Or The cost guide.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Count adults and children separately
At food time, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep guests happy.
What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
Send us the date, your venue or TN31 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Questions from Cackle Street
Which station should guests use for Cackle Street?
Doleham station, about 1.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Cackle Street close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you come to Cackle Street?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Cackle Street and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What’s in the pans
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives while the paella cooks.
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well, and meat eaters frequently try it too.
