Questions from New Town
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 follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for New Town?
Pangbourne station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
We leave the space as we found it.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. In New Town, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
