What affects the price in Ascot
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
- The paellas you choose
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Common questions in Ascot
Can you cook in Silwood Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Ascot for guests?
Ascot has its own station: Ascot station.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.
What documents can you provide?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Ascot, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
