Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ashampstead Green? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
Dishes our guests love
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or your cake as dessert.
Where we can cook in Ashampstead Green
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Ashampstead Green
Which station should guests use for Ashampstead Green?
The closest is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Clement: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What areas do you cover?

What affects the price in Ashampstead Green
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Your date and when you want to eat
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
