Questions from Northney
Which station should guests use for Northney?
The closest is Warblington station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll provide it.

How the day works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. In Northney, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
