Your questions about paella party catering in Bishop's Green
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in New Greenham Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a late-May party in Bishop's Green, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Bishop's Green parties: what to know
Bishop's Green is about 3 miles south of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Parties in Bishop's Green are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. Bishop's Green is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire we cover. You can also see our page for Reading, about 14 miles away.
Parks such as New Greenham Park generally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Newbury Racecourse station, about 2.6 miles north-west.
Wherever your party is in RG20, we can bring paella party catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Beech Road, Kestrel Gardens and Peregrine Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the pans to you.

How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can fill in our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Bishop's Green hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Catering across West Berkshire, including Bishop's Green
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Dishes our guests love
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well, and meat eaters frequently try it too.
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
