Your questions about corporate paella catering in Ipsden
What’s the nearest station to Ipsden for guests?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Why choose live paella in Ipsden?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Fast service from the pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
