Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Warn the neighbours
- Have bins ready
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

Sindlesham questions
What’s the nearest station to Sindlesham for guests?
The closest is Winnersh station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
How far is Sindlesham from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Is live paella right for your party?
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella is hard to beat. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
