Your questions about corporate paella catering in Parkhurst
Do you come out to small places like Parkhurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Parkhurst?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through it.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Parkhurst, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The number of people
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
