Common questions in Addlestone
Which station should guests use for Addlestone?
Addlestone has its own station: Addlestone station.
Could we have live paella in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
What do you need at the venue?
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.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll see what works.

Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, in its own pan.
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day

After-work summer parties in Addlestone have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
