Questions from Fawley
Do you come out to small places like Fawley?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could we have live paella in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How many different paellas?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
