Idelica Frozen Food Range

Our frozen Spanish meals are available for collection from our unit at D1 Platinum Jubilee Business Park, Hopclover Way, Ringwood, Hampshire, BH24 3FW. We are open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 3pm. If you would like to stock up, but can’t get down to us, give us a call and let’s see if we can find another way to help you. Right now, this is all about our delicious paella.

What is it all about?

We developed our frozen range as a result of wanting to ensure we kept waste to a minimum. One of the challenges of being a paella caterer is that you can’t just add another portion on to the cook – it is about planning and prep. As a result, we overcook but, rather than waste high quality food, we freeze what we don’t sell fresh as quickly as we are able to ensure that we keep the high quality and freshness that we are known for.

To recognise that this is more of a convenience product rather than a foodie treat, the price reflects that our customers will need to heat it back up themselves. That’s how we get our fresh paella prices down from £12 – £15 to £7 per portion. We don’t add preservatives – rather we keep a relatively short best before shelf life to ensure that the product we sell is of the highest quality.

Where are we heading?

This year, we are developing our range of frozen Spanish meals. Our goal is to have a menu of authentic Spanish dishes by the Autumn, for people to enjoy in their own homes. You probably know us well enough by now to realise that we will update our progress regularly, but whilst we go through our mobile catering busy season, the plan is to work out the best way to reach people who want to buy our dishes. Right now, this is all about collecting from us, but we are talking to partners about stocking in farms shops and even gyms. We may look to do regular drop offs to certain areas and let people know where to come in their local vicinity to collect from us.

We would love to hear from you, our paella family about how we can give you access to the food that we are so proud of more easily. Right now we are open to thoughts and trying to think of ‘outside of the box’ ideas (Baldy post coming methinks).
