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

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Priestwood: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew?
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. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Priestwood?
Bracknell station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Will the neighbours notice?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
