How the day works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, sunset in Telscombe Cliffs is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Planning help

For event organisers in Telscombe Cliffs

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

Enquire early for peak dates
Give us separate day and evening numbers
Choose pan-side or table service
Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers

Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.

Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Telscombe Cliffs: your questions answered

We’re having a ceremony at Ascension Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Which station should guests use for Telscombe Cliffs?

The closest is Newhaven Town station, roughly 2.9 miles away.

How much space do you need?

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Do you do starters?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

How much is live paella catering?

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Before you choose a spot

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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 will do the cooking.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Planning a paella wedding in Telscombe Cliffs

Telscombe Cliffs is about 3 miles west of Newhaven, in East Sussex.

Nearby historic houses include Monk's House (3 miles north-east) and Anne of Cleves House (4.9 miles north). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking.

The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Telscombe Cliffs, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue about access and cooking rules. With the coast within about 6 miles, a seafood paella suits a seaside-style wedding. Coastal wind needs a sheltered cooking spot.
