Questions from Colthrop
Which station should guests use for Colthrop?
Thatcham station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Colthrop close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, West Berkshire included. See all areas.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Colthrop have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Get facilities approval early
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Crockery and staff can be added.
