Your questions about tapas catering in Tutts Clump
What’s the nearest station to Tutts Clump for guests?
Aldermaston station, about 2.5 miles south of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at St Peter's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How many different paellas?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not 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 big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
