Paella catering across BN23

A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, very little goes to waste, and the food arrives hot. That’s why it works for so many events. Typical bookings include naming days and family parties and leaving dos and retirements, with vegetable paella, vegan paella and paella Valenciana.

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking.

Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
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.

Prices in BN23

Paella catering in BN23: local guide

BN23 covers everything from Eastbourne, Langney and Hampden Park to 1 small villages and hamlets, and live paella suits every kind of setting. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access. Around 4 places in BN23 are close to the coast, where we always plan shelter from the wind, and seafood paella is popular.

Eastbourne: For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Andrew, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. For guests coming by train, Hampden Park station is about 0.7 miles away. Evenings in Eastbourne stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.

Live paella or other catering?

Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is cooked as one big dish and served together.

Planning the cooking area

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

The venue’s permission for live cooking
Somewhere close to park and unload
Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
