Woolton Hill: your questions answered
Is Woolton Hill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Woolton Hill?
Newbury station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you cover Woolton Hill?
Yes, we do. Woolton Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Woolton Hill
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Woolton Hill, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know the timings for the day

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
