Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Count adults and children separately
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
How our paella party catering works in Laverstoke
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Popular choices include seafood paella, tapas and mixed paella, and we are regularly asked to cater family get-togethers and baby celebrations.
In a small place like Laverstoke, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

FAQs for Laverstoke
Do you come out to small places like Laverstoke?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at St Nicholas' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
