Questions from Middlegreen
Is Middlegreen close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Could we have live paella in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Which paella is most popular?
It depends on your guests. Chicken and mixed paellas tend to go first, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
Are premium seafood options available?
We will talk through seafood options when we plan your menu, including premium options if you want them.
Is paella a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add tapas first or dessert after.
Do you come to Middlegreen?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Middlegreen and the rest of Slough. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What is live paella catering?
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.
About our paella catering in Middlegreen
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will suggest what suits your event. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and paella Valenciana, and typical bookings are for leaving dos and retirements and anniversary celebrations.
In a rural place like Middlegreen, the setting does plenty of the work: a huge pan in a garden or field fits perfectly. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we offer
- Mixed paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Black rice (arroz negro)
- Vegan paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Seafood paella
- Vegetable paella
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Mention any other courses or food
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm allergies by email
Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can enjoy your guests.
We can add sangria and bar staff to serve drinks you provide.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Occasions we cook for in Middlegreen
It is ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, where guests can mingle while it cooks before sitting down to eat.
Live paella works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Company summer parties
- Garden parties and summer barbecues

Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
