Paella catering in Broomhall

Paella catering for your event in Broomhall

There is something generous about paella: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It makes the food an event in itself. We are often asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and anniversary celebrations, serving vegetable paella, black rice and paella Valenciana.

In a smaller place like Broomhall, a garden party is often the simplest option: no hire fees, and live paella feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Tell us what else is being served
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
  • Give us separate numbers for children

After service, we pack down our cooking area, quietly and quickly.

Tapas or canapés make a good start as the rice cooks.

Your questions about paella catering in Broomhall

Can you cook in Silwood Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

What’s the nearest station to Broomhall for guests?

Broomhall has its own station: Sunningdale station.

Do you cater in Broomhall?

Yes, we do. We cook at events in Broomhall and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Should we have more than one paella?

Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Can you feed a lot of people?

Yes, that is what it is made for. We size pans and serving points to your guest list.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Broomhall.

Can you cook indoors?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.

What affects the price in Broomhall

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • The paellas you choose

The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The courses you’d like

What we need at the venue

We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Planning an evening event in Broomhall? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.

  3. We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.
