Earlstone Common: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Earlstone Common for guests?
Newbury station, about 3 miles north of the centre.
Is Earlstone Common too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can the team help cook?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How long we’re needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
We leave the space as we found it.

What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Earlstone Common, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Plan cover in case of rain

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
