Common questions in Gosport
Is Gosport close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Which station should guests use for Gosport?
Portsmouth Harbour station, about 2 miles east of the centre.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Corporate paella catering in Gosport, cooked live
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is exactly what a team event is for. Whether it is customer events and charity days, we can cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches.
Work events in Gosport are frequently at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Live paella feeds the team quickly and suits every diet. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Gosport, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
