Corporate events around Dunsbury
Dunsbury is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your work event in Dunsbury, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Dunsbury is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Dunsbury to Southampton (18 miles away).
The coast is within about 4 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

FAQs for Dunsbury
Can you cook near the sea around Dunsbury?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Dunsbury?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Get facilities approval early
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Dunsbury have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans
