Your questions about corporate paella catering in Aston Upthorpe
What’s the nearest station to Aston Upthorpe for guests?
Cholsey station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.
How far is Aston Upthorpe from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock.
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a Christmas party in Aston Upthorpe, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
