About paella catering in Bracknell Forest

We cook every paella from scratch on the day, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. On the menu are vegetable paella, paella Valenciana and black rice, and we are frequently booked for engagement and anniversary parties and naming days and family parties.

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss.

It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
We suggest a menu and confirm a quote, including what’s included.
On the day we arrive in good time, set up and start the stock.
The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
It’s served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.

Cost

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Catering events across Bracknell Forest

There are 3 towns and 13 villages and hamlets in Bracknell Forest, so whether your event is in Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.

Bracknell: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Ranelagh School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Holy Trinity Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Evenings in Bracknell stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

The menu, dish by dish

Seafood paella

Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.

Mixed paella

Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.

Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:

How many staff you need
Whether you need crockery
The paellas you choose
Guest numbers

Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Details that help

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Whether the venue has crockery or staff
A photo of the space, if you can

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

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 handles separate pans for each diet.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Occasions we cook for in Bracknell Forest

Live paella is food and a show in one. The cooking becomes the centre of the event, and the food is hot and generous.

Here are some of the events we cook for in Bracknell Forest and Bracknell Forest:

Wedding breakfasts and evening food
Anniversary celebrations
Fairs, fêtes and festivals
Garden get-togethers

For event organisers in Bracknell Forest

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Bracknell Forest: your questions answered

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

How long do you need on site?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Can you do sangria?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

What does paella catering cost?

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
