Lyndhurst: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Lyndhurst?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 2.4 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.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
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 cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cover Lyndhurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lyndhurst. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a Christmas party in Lyndhurst, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Perfect for your work event in Lyndhurst
