- We send the documents the event asks for.

FAQs for Hundred Acres
What’s the nearest station to Hundred Acres for guests?
Fareham station, about 3.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Hundred Acres?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Will there be long queues?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Paella compared with other options
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
