Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Events we cater in Upper Green

Getting married in Upper Green?
Upper Green is about 7 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. From the centre of Upper Green to the outskirts, wedding paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Upper Green is one of 155 places in West Berkshire where we cook. Our events stretch from Upper Green to Reading (about 22 miles away).
For outdoor photos, Inkpen Hill is close by, and the countryside around Upper Green suits an outdoor reception. For guests travelling by train, the nearest station is Kintbury station, about 2.6 miles north-east.
We cook at weddings all over RG17 and the streets around it.

Should I cook it 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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
