About the dishes
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Anything your venue supplies
Send us the date, your venue or RG4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.

Which station should guests use for Cane End?
Tilehurst station, about 2.8 miles south of the centre.

Mention it in your enquiry, and we will see what works.

Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Share the timings for food
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Cane End, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
