In a rural place like Warfield, the setting does a lot of the work: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. Evenings in Warfield stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

For planners, venues and organisers

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How we price paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Which courses you have in mind
- Anything your venue supplies
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s usually the most photographed pan.
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It’s frequently the most popular pan at an event.
Common questions in Warfield
Do you come out to small places like Warfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cover Warfield?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Warfield and across Bracknell Forest. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Which paellas do you recommend?
It depends on your guests. A chicken or mixed paella is usually the most popular, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Make sure each pan is labelled
- Let us know about other food at the event
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 doesn’t provide them.
