What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. After-work summer parties in Pangbourne have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why book with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- A clear, itemised quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
