About our paella catering in Britwell
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Each is cooked separately, so diets are easy to manage. We’re often asked to cater staff parties and work lunches and anniversary celebrations, serving black rice, mixed paella and vegan paella.
In a smaller place like Britwell, a garden party is frequently the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Let us know about access to the house. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How the day works
On the day, 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 Britwell 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 is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ensure each pan is labelled
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
