What else we do in Oakhanger
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- We cover Oakhanger and the whole of Hampshire
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
