If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Easthampstead
What’s the nearest station to Easthampstead for guests?
Bracknell station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Count adults and children separately
- Mention any other courses or food
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. Around midsummer it stays light in Easthampstead until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
