Goring-by-Sea: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Durrington Minature Railway? Public parks generally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Goring-By-Sea CofE (Aided) Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Around midsummer it stays light in Goring-by-Sea until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in BN99? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why live paella works
People book live paella because it’s food and entertainment at once. The cooking becomes the centre of the event, and the food is hot and generous.
Whatever you’re celebrating in BN99, live paella can be the centrepiece. We regularly cater:
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Milestone birthday parties
- Office lunches and staff parties
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
