Bierley: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Bierley?
Shanklin station, about 5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cook near the sea around Bierley?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you cover Bierley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bierley is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Bierley, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.

For event organisers in Bierley
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
