Live paella or other catering?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there is no host stuck at the grill. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

FAQs for Burghfield
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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.
How far is Burghfield from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We’ll check availability right away.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
How much space do you need?
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 photo.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you come to Burghfield?
We do. Burghfield is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Let the neighbours know
- Count adults and children separately
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.

What paella party catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For a late-May party in Burghfield, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
