How our paella party catering works in Three Oaks
Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and the food is served hot and generous. Typical bookings include neighbourhood celebrations and summer garden parties, with churros, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas.
In a small place like Three Oaks, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Questions from Three Oaks
Is Three Oaks close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Which station should guests use for Three Oaks?

How much does paella party catering cost in Three Oaks?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we’ll check.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a late-May party in Three Oaks, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- How many courses
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- Which courses you have in mind
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Three Oaks parties: what to know
Three Oaks is about 3 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Tell us where your party in Three Oaks will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Three Oaks is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Three Oaks to Brighton (33 miles away).
Historic houses near Three Oaks include Durhamford Manor (4.9 miles north-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Laurence's Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, seafood paella is a natural choice, and we always plan for wind.
Here we cover the TN35 postcode area. Whether your party is on Butcher's Lane, Morgay Wood Lane and Eight Acre Lane or a nearby road, we can cook there.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Warn the neighbours
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan seats for most guests
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
