Common questions in Ellingham
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Ellingham too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you work in winter?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Why choose live paella in Ellingham?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in Ellingham, it’s dark by about 4:05pm, 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.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us where to park and unload
How to get a price
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
