Common questions in Inner Avenue
Which station should guests use for Inner Avenue?
St Denys station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Why choose live paella in Inner Avenue?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
