Questions from Ufton Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Ufton Green for guests?
Aldermaston station, about 1.8 miles west of the centre.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
How our paella party catering works in Ufton Green
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the whole menu is sorted. Typical bookings include big birthdays and retirement celebrations, with vegetable paella, mixed paella and seafood paella.
A country party near Ufton Green is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Send us the date, your venue or RG7 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.

Paella compared with other options
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. Book us and you’re free to enjoy it. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Should I cook it myself?
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
