Common questions in Goose Hill
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Goose Hill?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We’ll check availability right away.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
