Questions from Hazeley
Is Hazeley close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Hazeley for guests?
Winchfield station, about 3.3 miles south of the centre.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
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 make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events in Hazeley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
