How our paella catering works in Binfield
We arrive with the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook the paella in front of your guests. When it is ready, it is served straight from the pan. Popular choices include mixed paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for festivals, fairs and school events and birthday celebrations.
Around Binfield, events are frequently in gardens, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight, we will plan around it. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Binfield until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Tell us when you want to eat

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Why choose live paella in Binfield?
With a barbecue, food comes in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why choose Love Paella in Binfield

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Tapas or canapés make a good start as the rice cooks.
How we price paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- The courses you’d like
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
