Common questions in Newnham Murren
Which station should guests use for Newnham Murren?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Newnham Murren 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.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send us your list.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask about peak-time capacity
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Summer events in Newnham Murren have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
