Live paella catering in Wexham Court
Paella catering in Wexham Court, made fresh on the day
Paella is generous food: huge pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It turns a meal into an occasion. For birthday celebrations and staff parties and work lunches, we will put together a menu of vegetable paella, black rice and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
In a small place like Wexham Court, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Seafood paella
- Vegan paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella

- Mixed paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Black rice (arroz negro)
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Count adults and children separately
Once the rice is in, it needs about 20 minutes, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further.
The menu, dish by dish
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, traditionally with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The traditional pan has chicken, flat green beans and butter beans.

Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
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.
