How it works

For a late-May party in College Town, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

FAQs for College Town
Can you cater a reception after a service at Royal Memorial Chapel?
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.
Which station should guests use for College Town?
Blackwater station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

What affects the price in College Town
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The courses you’d like
- What the venue already provides
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
