Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
The space is left clean and tidy.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. December events in Ashley Heath are in the dark from about 4:05pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Common questions in Ashley Heath
Can you cook in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
