Paella catering across BN10
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone birthday parties and festivals, fairs and school events, with vegan paella, vegetable paella and paella Valenciana.
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.

Catering events across BN10
BN10 covers everything from Peacehaven, Telscombe and Telscombe Cliffs to 0 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 3 of the places we cover in BN10 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always plan shelter from the wind.
Peacehaven: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Peacehaven Community School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Ascension Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Planning an evening event in Peacehaven? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving.
What your quote should include
- The deadline for final numbers
- How bad weather is handled
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Tell us what else is being served
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Confirm allergies by email
- Make sure each pan is labelled
Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we serve when guests are ready.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.

BN10: your questions answered
What happens with live paella?
We cook from scratch at your venue in big pans, in front of your guests, and serve straight from the pan.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Are premium seafood options available?
We will suggest seafood to suit your menu and budget. Premium shellfish can be added.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
