About paella catering in TN39
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields. We cook paella Valenciana, seafood paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for milestone birthday parties and leaving dos and retirements.
A typical event goes like this: 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.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Paella catering in TN39: local guide
Across TN39, we cook in 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sidley and Lunsford's Cross or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings. 3 of the places we cover in TN39 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot for the wind, and seafood paella is popular.
Bexhill-on-Sea: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like King Offa Primary Academy, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like The Chilli Tree, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Planning an evening event in Bexhill-on-Sea? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
