Planning an event in Remenham Hill?
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How our paella catering works in Remenham Hill
Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That is what we bring to events in Remenham Hill. We cook black rice, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are often booked for big birthdays and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere as small as Remenham Hill, a garden or field is frequently the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What affects the price in Remenham Hill
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Mixed paella
A mix of chicken and seafood, and a popular all-rounder.

Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Where we can cook in Remenham Hill
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Mention any other courses or food
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can enjoy your guests.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.

Paella compared with other options
A cold buffet is simple but has no theatre, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
