Questions from Horseport
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Horseport?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cover Horseport?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Horseport is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
