Rockbourne: your questions answered
Is Rockbourne too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
What else we do in Rockbourne
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Why choose live paella in Rockbourne?

Why book with us
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In Rockbourne, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
