Sandleford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Sandleford?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Sandleford?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Corporate paella catering in Sandleford, cooked live
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event. We cook bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we’re frequently booked for client hospitality and end-of-year celebrations.
Team away days in the countryside around Sandleford suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a Christmas party in Sandleford, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
