Questions from Highwood
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Highwood too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
