Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
- The number of people
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Britwell
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Britwell?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We’ll check availability straight away.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you cater in Britwell?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Britwell and across Slough. Send us your date to check availability.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Britwell until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking

- Plan where rubbish goes
- Let the neighbours know
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
Kids are fascinated by the huge pans.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

What else we do in Britwell
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
