Planning a party in Hanover
Hanover is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. For paella party catering in Hanover, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. We cater in all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of the Annunciation, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Royal Pavilion (0.6 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.3 miles north-west). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Hanover, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about a mile, seafood paella is a natural choice, with shelter from the breeze planned in.
Here we cover the BN2, BN1 and BN50 postcode area. Whether your party is on Elmore Road, London Road and Milton Road or a nearby road, we will bring the pans to you. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Brighton (1 mile north), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Seven Dials (1 mile west) and Kemptown (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Westdene (3 miles north-west) and Saltdean (4 miles south-east).

How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a late-May party in Hanover, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Your questions about paella party catering in Hanover
How far is Hanover from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
