For a Christmas party in Sunnymead, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.

Common questions in Sunnymead
Is Sunnymead close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Sunnymead?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through it.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Live paella or other catering?
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
