Description
Our Paellas can be: cooked on show or tucked away in a kitchen, cooked indoors or outdoors, served to guests from the pan buffet-style or served to tables. They can be served fast or slow, wolfed down or savoured, and can cater for all tastes and dietary requirements. We can serve up to three varieties at a sitting for a minimum 50 people. Menu choices normally offer meat, seafood, vegetarian or mixed varieties.
Paella can be your only catering requirement for superb mobile catering for any occasion, but if you want delectable Canapes, Starters, Sides or Desserts too, we can also supply these as a Buffet or with various levels of Table Service.
We love using good, local fresh produce alongside high quality Spanish ambient and cured products and our clients love us for it. Our Cheese Buffets, for example, involve a stack of fine cheese wheels from The West Country and Spain, bread from a Hampshire Bakery, crackers from a Dorset Producer, New Forest chutneys, seasonal fresh fruit and Spanish dried accompaniments. We offer our clients a true taste of home-grown Spanish cuisine, which has as much to do with using the best ingredients to hand and avoiding waste as making enticing, delicious and plentiful celebration food. If you want every possible sea-creature known to man cooked in your seafood paella, we can (within reason) source the more exotic ingredients and cost it up for you - equally if you want a simple shelled prawn, squid and white fish seafood paella, then our standard offering is still tasty and satisfying.

• Sept. 19, 2017What can I say, the food was fantastic and the service second to none. Each member of the team worked extremely hard to ensure that each of our guests ate throughout the allocated lunch period in time and without anybody going hungry. They even helped out with jobs that effectively weren’t theirs and supported the Savills team with such great team spirit. I couldn’t recommend them enough and will definitely be using them again in the future.

• Aug. 9, 2017Thank you so much for our wonderful wedding paella!! All of our guests absolutely loved it and we've had lots of lovely comments about it since. It was super tasty and he portion sizes were amazing. Lots of people managed to have second portions and lots of people commented on the lovely artichokes in the vegetarian paella. The set up was really easy and it was there and ready to go before I noticed. Everyone serving was so kind and friendly and definitely made our evening fun and relaxed. It was just what we wanted. Thank you so much, we give you 5 out of 5!

• Feb. 27, 2016Idelica provided the catering for our wedding in 2016 and I couldn't recommend them more. Emma was in constant contact with us from the offset & went out of her way to get us what we wanted. The service was second to none and the food was absolutely beautiful & tasted fantastic. The catering was hands down the best element of our wedding (& it was a beautiful wedding) and guests still talk about it now. Waiting for an excuse to deal with Emma again. Couldn't be happier with Idelica.

• Jan. 24, 2014Idelica provided the paella for our wedding in August 2013, and we couldn't have been happier. The quality of food and service was excellent. So many guests commented on how amazing it was and asked for their details. We would wholeheartedly recommend them for any functions.
