Common questions in Winnersh
Is Winnersh close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary the Virgin?
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.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
