How our paella catering works in Frogmill
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it’s festivals, fairs and school events and birthday celebrations, we can cook seafood paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella.
For a rural spot like Frogmill, 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. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Frogmill: venues, travel and local tips
Frogmill is about 3 miles south-west of Marlow, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us where your event in Frogmill will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We cook in 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 9 miles away.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Danesfield School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser.

Evenings in Frogmill stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

- Travel and parking costs

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tapas or canapés make a good start as the rice cooks.

Frogmill: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Frogmill close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Yes, that is what it’s made for. We size pans and serving points to your guest list.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
What paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- Waiting and bar staff
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- What the venue already provides
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
What’s in the pans
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, rather than seafood. It’s a favourite with guests who do not eat fish.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
