FAQs for Whitchurch Hill
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Whitchurch Hill too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cater in Whitchurch Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Whitchurch Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Whitchurch Hill is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cook. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 6 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Basildon Park (2 miles west) and Mapledurham House (2.4 miles south-east).

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
