Questions from Stone
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Stone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will check with your facilities team.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Corporate paella catering in Stone, made fresh on the day
Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. Whether it’s company summer parties and client and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of paella lunches, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella for your guests.
For rural venues near Stone, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Stone, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, 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 clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Think about shade and seating
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Get facilities approval early
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Crockery and staff can be added.
