West Itchenor: your questions answered

How far is West Itchenor from London?

Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cook near the sea around West Itchenor?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Can you supply plates?

If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

Do you come to West Itchenor?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and West Itchenor is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.

Should I cook it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Planners, venues and businesses

Organising a club, school or community event in West Itchenor? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

The process

When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. After-work summer parties in West Itchenor have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
