Gaskins: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Gaskins?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you cover Gaskins?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Gaskins and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
What affects the price in Gaskins
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Parking and unloading
- How many staff you need

What’s in the pans
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why choose Love Paella in Gaskins
- Drinks service on request
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Why choose corporate paella catering in Gaskins?
It brings teams together around the pans.
Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Client hospitality
- Summer staff parties
- End-of-year celebrations
- Launches and open days
Historic houses near Gaskins include Nunwell House (1.7 miles south-west) and Yaverland Manor (1.7 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for caterers.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- VAT, if it applies
- How late numbers can change
- The wet-weather plan
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. After-work summer parties in Gaskins have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.

- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
