Your questions about paella party catering in Peacehaven
We’re having a ceremony at Ascension Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you come to Peacehaven?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Peacehaven is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Sunset in Peacehaven is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Let us know the timings for the day

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How we price paella party catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
