About our paella catering in Boveney
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, very little goes to waste, and the food arrives hot. That’s why it works for so many events. We are often asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and staff parties and work lunches, serving chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and mixed paella.
For a rural spot like Boveney, the countryside is part of the appeal: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Tell us about access and the ground. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Confirm allergies by email
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Boveney, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is 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.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
