North Mundham: venues and local tips
North Mundham is about 2 miles south-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. For an event in North Mundham, we cater in back gardens, halls with outdoor space, barns, marquees and offices. We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 27 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (4 miles north). Where a historic venue does not allow live cooking, canapé tapas may still be possible; ask the venue. Canapé tapas suit the drinks after a ceremony at a church like The Parish Church of St Stephen. The coast is within about 5 miles, so garlic prawns are popular.

How the day works

Common questions in North Mundham
Is North Mundham too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Stephen?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including North Mundham.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Of course. Tapas can be booked without paella.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
