Abbotts Barton: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is Abbotts Barton close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you come to Abbotts Barton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Abbotts Barton and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Abbotts Barton have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
