DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Chapel Row: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Herstmonceux Free Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Chapel Row for guests?
Pevensey Bay station, about 4.8 miles south of the centre.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability right away.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Crockery or disposables can be added.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. A summer party in Chapel Row stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your party, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
