We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • Guest numbers
  • How many staff you need
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Whether you need crockery

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Our caterer checklist

Maybush: your questions answered

What about events near the coast?

Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

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 you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

How long do you need on site?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Can you cook at our office?

Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.

What paperwork do you have?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.

Working with your venue

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Before you choose a spot

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Share the timings for food
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

Step by step

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. After-work summer parties in Maybush have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
