Why choose live paella in Lymington?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Lymington, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Lymington
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.
What’s the nearest station to Lymington for guests?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can the team help cook?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
