Your questions about corporate paella catering in Crookham
Is Crookham too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Crookham?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Do you cover Crookham?
Yes, we do. Crookham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Facilities approval and any site rules
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

What else we do in Crookham
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Catering across West Berkshire, including Crookham
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Served hot, straight from the pan

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- The length of service
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
