Hosting a paella party in Eddington

Eddington is about 8 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Whether your party is in the middle of Eddington or on the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Eddington is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. We cook right across the region, from Eddington to Reading (about 23 miles away).

Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Hungerford Methodist Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Eddington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

This part of West Berkshire takes in RG17. We can cater a party on streets such as Waram Close, Oxford Street and Kennet Court or the roads around them. We also cook at parties in Upper Eddington (1 mile north-west), Hungerford (1 mile south-west), Leverton (1 mile north-west), Chilton Foliat (2 miles north-west) and Woodlands St Mary (4 miles north). We also cook in nearby towns such as Newbury (8 miles east), Thatcham (11 miles east), Speenhamland (8 miles east), Lambourn (6 miles north), Shaw (8 miles east) and Kingsclere (13 miles south-east).

Green spaces nearby include Kintbury Newt Ponds and Inkpen Hill.

Choosing a paella caterer

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Space, weather and the venue

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • A picture of the garden helps us check the space
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Eddington questions

Is Eddington too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

We are having a ceremony at Hungerford Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Do you cover Eddington?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Eddington is within our area and the rest of West Berkshire. For a quote, use our quote form.

Do you take everything away?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

When should I book?

Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

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 as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, it is light in Eddington until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
