Paella catering near Enborne Row
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Ask for labels on each pan
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not provide them.
Paella catering in Enborne Row, made fresh on the day
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, very little goes to waste, and the food is served hot. It is why live paella suits so many kinds of event. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and office lunches and staff parties, serving seafood paella, black rice and vegan paella.
In a small place like Enborne Row, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and a firm spot near where we park makes set-up easier. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

A closer look at the menu
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it is frequently the first pan to empty.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Who books paella catering in Enborne Row?
Live paella is made for outdoor events: cooked outside, served hot and shared.
Almost any gathering can work with live paella. In Enborne Row, people book us for occasions like:
- Garden get-togethers
- Christenings and family gatherings
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Community events and fairs
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Luke Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well.

How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Enborne Row, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
