Work events in Hulverstone: access and travel
Hulverstone is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Work events in Hulverstone are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. Hulverstone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Hulverstone to Southampton (18 miles away).
The coast is within about 5 miles, so a seafood pan goes down well at summer events.

Hulverstone questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Hulverstone 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 work in winter?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you cover Hulverstone?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hulverstone. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Where we can cook in Hulverstone
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Hulverstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why book with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Hulverstone, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
