FAQs for Silchester
What’s the nearest station to Silchester for guests?
The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Is Silchester 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.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you invoice the company?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Why choose live paella in Silchester?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Other catering in Silchester
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
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.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. For a Christmas party in Silchester, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We check the date and venue.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
