There’s good reason why it’s virtually impossible to find any place that does High Street Paella Takeaway, but we think we’ve found the way to make it work.
Paella that has been carefully prepared, slow-cooked, rested a little and served fresh from the pan is THE best way to enjoy it, and this is what has kept us so popular as a mobile caterer at food festivals, weddings, parties & private dining where our customers and guests can also see (and smell) it all happening in front of them. Thousands of people over the last 10+ years will vouch for us I’m sure.
Rest assured we do our very best to harness all the goodness of that all-important paella cooking method in every portion we serve – whether it’s completely freshly cooked or safely hot-held. We have never sold re-heated paella to our customers and we never will. Our only exception to our service of freshly cooked paella are our frozen paella portions which which we started developing during the pivoting of Covid and which we continue to sell in The Spanish Place, and will occasionally use as an ingredient in street food pop-ups (like our paella nachos and tacos at The PIG BEER Brewery & Tap Room).
So how do we manage to make Fresh Paella Takeaway viable under these conditions, from our little corner of the Platinum Jubilee Business Park? It’s been a long and unfolding story but for a while now every Thursday we have been cooking one, two or three varieties of paella to be ready for 5pm, and getting the word out that we’ll have freshly-cooked portions available to purchase and collect from our Unit. There’s been a lot of guesswork to anticipate the demand for each paella variety, but we have now taken this to the next level – and today we launch our very own website pre-ordering facility.

Now you can pre-order your paella up to 5 days in advance of the ‘Fresh Paella Thursday’ Takeaway Night (5pm-7pm) and guarantee that your portions of choice will be ready to collect. You can also book a delivery of your order if your postcode is within BH24. The pre-order deadline is 10am on the Wednesday before, but thereafter up until 5pm on the Thursday you can pre-order from any of the paella varieties that are still showing as ‘in stock’.
Of course, we aren’t going completely digital! The Spanish Place – and Idelica’s office – is open to visitors from 10am-5pm every weekday if you want to visit and order in person, so maybe pick up some frozen paella or something else from our Spanish deli range, or try something from our cafe takeaway menu, or talk to us about any of our food and catering services too. And we will still take your order details or check if there are any portions available last minute by phone if you want call it in on 01425 350350.
