Your questions about tapas catering in Sunninghill
What’s the nearest station to Sunninghill for guests?
Ascot station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Sunninghill.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Dishes our guests love
Manchego & membrillo
Easy and classic.
Tortilla española
Tortilla is vegetarian and naturally gluten-free.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
