Caversham Park Village questions
How far is Caversham Park Village from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will talk you through it.
About our wedding paella catering in Caversham Park Village
Saffron and garlic in the air gets guests excited about the meal. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas.
For a smaller place like Caversham Park Village, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. In Caversham Park Village, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
