What affects the price in Kingsclere
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Kingsclere events: pitches and permissions
Kingsclere is about 5 miles south-west of Tadley, in West Berkshire. We cook at events in gardens, halls and venues around Kingsclere and the surrounding area. Kingsclere is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. We cook right across the region, from Kingsclere to Reading (14 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Thatcham station, about 4.8 miles north. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Mary, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola.
We cook at events all over RG20 and the streets around it. From King John Road, George Street and Garden Close or anywhere nearby, we can cook there. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Wolverton (2 miles east), Ecchinswell (2 miles west), Plastow Green (2 miles north), Fair Oak (2 miles north-east) and Headley (3 miles north). We also cook in nearby towns such as Newbury (6 miles north-west), Thatcham (5 miles north), Burghfield Common (9 miles north-east), Speenhamland (7 miles north-west), Hungerford (13 miles north-west) and Spencers Wood (13 miles east).

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
What’s in the pans
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid for fish lovers.
Paella compared with other options
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Access for unloading at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Vegan paella
- Seafood paella

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. Summer events in Kingsclere have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
