How paella party catering works in Wokingham

Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. We are often asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and family get-togethers, with chicken and chorizo paella, tapas and churros.

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat.

Parties across Wokingham: venues and tips

In Wokingham’s towns, a garden party generally means a compact garden and street parking; in its villages, more space but narrower lanes. Tell us which applies to you.

Reading: Nearby historic houses include Mapledurham House (3.6 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. If guests are coming by rail, Reading West station is about 0.7 miles away. At midsummer, it’s light in Reading until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

Have cover ready for a shower
Add a diet question to the invitation
Give separate numbers for children
Make sure children stay back from the pans

After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.

Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

Wokingham questions

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

How early should we book?

The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We’ll check availability straight away.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Who clears up?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

What space do you need to cook?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.

Can you cook in my back garden?

Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a picture of the space.
