Local landmarks in Bracknell

Locally, our events take us close to Market Inn, Holy Trinity Church and The Brakenhale School. Other local landmarks include Ranelagh School (less than half a mile east) and Wildridings Primary School (0.5 miles south-west). There’s a railway station in Bracknell itself: Bracknell station.

Celebrations across Bracknell Forest

In Bracknell Forest’s towns, a garden party usually means a compact garden and street parking; in its villages, more space but narrower lanes. Let us know about your space and access.

Bracknell: If guests are coming by rail, Bracknell station is in Bracknell itself. After a christening at a church like Holy Trinity Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. At midsummer, it is light in Bracknell until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Catering for every guest

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:

  • Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
  • Plan where rubbish goes
  • Collect dietary needs with your invites
  • Plan seats for most guests

If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear.

Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.

Dishes our guests love

Vegetable paella

A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought.

Chicken & chorizo paella

Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.

Prices and what affects them

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • The paellas you choose

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

What we need to know

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The venue or postcode
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Questions from Bracknell Forest

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

Is halal food available?

Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

How much is live paella catering?

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

Do you cook at halls and clubs?

Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.

Will there be enough food?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Do you cater for children?

Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
