Wellhouse: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Do you cater in Wellhouse?
Yes, we do. Wellhouse is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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’ll do the cooking.
Occasions we cook for in Wellhouse
One big dish beats lots of fiddly ones.
These are some of the occasions we cater in Wellhouse and West Berkshire:
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Street and neighbourhood parties
- Baby celebrations
- Engagement and anniversary parties
Nearby historic houses include Shaw House (3.7 miles south-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.
Questions to ask before booking
