Working with your venue

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Wecock Farm until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Common questions in Wecock Farm
Which station should guests use for Wecock Farm?
The closest is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Hart Plain Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you supply crockery?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
How much does paella party catering cost in Wecock Farm?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Add a diet question to the invitation
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Is live paella right for your party?
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella is hard to beat. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
