Questions from Shalcombe
Can you cook near the sea around Shalcombe?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you come out to small places like Shalcombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you cover Shalcombe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Shalcombe is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
Shalcombe is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in Shalcombe have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
