FAQs for Beaulieu
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Beaulieu 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.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Is live paella right for your work event?
For catering that’s part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

For event organisers in Beaulieu
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Share the timings for food
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Think about shade and seating
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
We leave the space as we found it.

What else we do in Beaulieu
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Beaulieu, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
