Planning a team event in Colbury

Historic houses near Colbury include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4.3 miles east) and Medieval Merchant's House (4.4 miles east).

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

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. For a Christmas party in Colbury, 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 start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Colbury questions
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Colbury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It’s ideal for that. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Get facilities approval early
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Events in Colbury and across Hampshire
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Paella lunches

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Guest numbers
- The paellas you choose
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

For a quote, it helps to have:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
