FAQs for Theale
Can you cook in Calcot Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Theale?
Theale has its own station: Theale station.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you do Christmas parties?

How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is live paella right for your work event?
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 your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

The process

After-work summer parties in Theale have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
