Paella catering for your event in Remenham
One cooking area feeds a lot of people, very little goes to waste, and the food arrives hot. That’s why it works for so many events. Popular choices include black rice, seafood paella and vegetable paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In a rural place like Remenham, the setting does plenty of the work: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Tell us about access and the ground. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us what else is being served
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Sangria and bar staff can be added to serve drinks you provide.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Around midsummer it stays light in Remenham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Check the venue allows live cooking
