Planning an event in Foulford?
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. In Foulford, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- 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.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Common questions in Foulford
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Foulford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will see what works.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Share the timings for food
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Get facilities approval early
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
