Paella catering for Egham Hythe events
How our paella catering works in Egham Hythe
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That is what we bring to events in Egham Hythe. Whether it is summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we will put together a menu of vegan paella, paella Valenciana and mixed paella and more.
Around Egham Hythe, events are often in gardens, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What’s in the pans
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Mixed paella
A mix of chicken and seafood, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Make sure each pan is labelled
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Tell us how many children are coming
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.

Common questions in Egham Hythe
Which station should guests use for Egham Hythe?
The closest is Egham station, roughly 1 mile away.
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How does live paella catering work?
We set up a cooking area at your venue, cook the paella from scratch in large pans while your guests watch, and serve it straight from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you come to Egham Hythe?
Yes, we do. Egham Hythe is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

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.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
