Planning for every diet

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
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.
Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why New Copse hosts choose us
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Events in New Copse and across Hampshire
