Elmfield: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Elmfield?
Ryde St Johns Road station, in Elmfield itself.
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 send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we will send what you need.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
