Common questions in Shootash
Do you come out to small places like Shootash?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Shootash?
Romsey station, about 2.4 miles east of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Shootash, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Planning the cooking area

- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
