Questions from South Ham
Can you cook in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is South Ham close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Can you cook at our office?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in South Ham? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
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.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Anything your venue supplies
