- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Aldermaston Wharf questions
Is Aldermaston Wharf close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Space, weather and the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Aldermaston Wharf? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
