For rural venues near Burkham, we can bring a hot lunch to the team. Let us know about access and parking. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Burkham questions
Is Burkham 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.
What’s the nearest station to Burkham for guests?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cater in Burkham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Burkham is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Burkham, it’s 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 choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Ask for a quote

What affects the price in Burkham

- How long we are needed on site
- How many courses
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
