About paella catering in Slough

One cooking area feeds a lot of people, there’s very little waste, and the food arrives hot. That’s why it works for so many events. We cook seafood paella, paella Valenciana and vegetable paella, and we’re often booked for garden get-togethers and anniversary celebrations.

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving.

We start with a few details about your event.
You get a menu and an itemised quote.
Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.

Paella catering in Slough: local guide

Across Slough, we cook in 3 towns and 21 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.

Slough: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Herschel Park? Public parks normally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Slough station, about 0.7 miles east. Around midsummer it stays light in Slough until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.

Dishes our guests love

Black rice

Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, and is typically served with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.

Paella Valenciana

In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The traditional pan has chicken, flat green beans and butter beans.

Live paella or other catering?

For something a little different, live paella adds colour, smell and theatre.

Before you choose a spot

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

Access for unloading near the cooking spot
Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

Planning for every diet

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
Put allergy details in writing
Count adults and children separately
Make sure most guests can sit to eat

Once the rice is in, it needs about 20 minutes, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.

Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
