Your questions about corporate paella catering in Godshill
Is Godshill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Godshill for guests?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Do you cater at business parks?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Godshill is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What else we do in Godshill
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Step by step

For a Christmas party in Godshill, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
