Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Count adults and children separately
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
We are set up before guests arrive.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
Paella party catering in Binfield Heath, made fresh on the day
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. For big birthdays and street and neighbourhood parties, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and churros.
Near Binfield Heath, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the set-up. Everything is cooked from scratch at your party, not reheated.

Is live paella right for your party?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Binfield Heath: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Binfield Heath for guests?
The closest is Shiplake station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
We are having a ceremony at All Saints Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat

A closer look at the menu
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a late-May party in Binfield Heath, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
