FAQs for Seaford
What’s the nearest station to Seaford for guests?
Seaford station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cook near the sea around Seaford?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Can paella feel formal?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
If you are weighing up paella against a traditional menu, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
