Questions from East Boldre
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.

With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
What paperwork do you have?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.

Work events in East Boldre: access and travel
East Boldre is about 5 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. From the centre of East Boldre to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. East Boldre is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 8 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Beaulieu Palace House (1.3 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers.

Local streets include Sweyns Lease, Chapel Lane and Warton Close; a work event at home on any of them works well with live paella. Neighbouring places where we cater work events include Furzey Lodge (1 mile north), Beaulieu (1 mile north-east), Bailey's Hard (1 mile east), The Hummicks (2 miles east) and Dibden Purlieu (4 miles north-east).

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For a Christmas party in East Boldre, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Before we arrive
