FAQs for Andover Down
Is Andover Down too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Andover Down from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

What else we do in Andover Down
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

What corporate paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Waiting and bar staff
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Andover Down, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
