Should I cook it myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Sunset in Bognor Regis is around 9:20pm in June, which suits an outdoor reception.

  1. Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We suggest a selection and a quote.
  3. We set up and finish the hot dishes.
  4. We serve canapés or table tapas.
  5. We pack down when service ends.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Name one person we can ask on the day

Bognor Regis questions

Which station should guests use for Bognor Regis?

The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Is Bognor Regis close to London?

About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.

How much is live paella catering?

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Do you cook inside?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Generic canapés all look the same. Spanish tapas bring colour and flavour. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
