About the dishes

Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Upper Eddington, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
- Whether you need crockery
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The venue or postcode
To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Upper Eddington, and we will put together a menu and price.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Questions from Upper Eddington
Is Upper Eddington 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.
Which station should guests use for Upper Eddington?
The closest is Hungerford station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cater a winter event?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
