Englefield questions
What’s the nearest station to Englefield for guests?
The closest is Theale station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Englefield?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Englefield.
How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Englefield, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Drinks service on request
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Fast service from the pan

How we price wedding paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
