Questions from Pevensey
Which station should guests use for Pevensey?
Pevensey has its own station: Pevensey Bay station.
Can you cook near the sea around Pevensey?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Pevensey is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
