Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

- Give us diet totals and allergy details

FAQs for Benham Hill
What’s the nearest station to Benham Hill for guests?
The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you cook in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you come to Benham Hill?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Benham Hill and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
