Common questions in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
What’s the nearest station to Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End for guests?
The closest is Theale station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. See all areas.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll check availability.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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.
Why choose live paella in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End hosts choose us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
