The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, events in Lower Padworth stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Questions from Lower Padworth
Do you come out to small places like Lower Padworth?
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 Lower Padworth?
Aldermaston station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
