Corporate paella catering for Luccombe Village events
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Luccombe Village
Which station should guests use for Luccombe Village?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
DIY paella versus live catering
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Luccombe Village is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. December events in Luccombe Village are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Plan cover in case of rain
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
Planning help
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
