Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Count adults and children separately
We arrive before your guests to set up.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it’s light in Dedworth 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.
- 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.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Your questions about paella party catering in Dedworth
What’s the nearest station to Dedworth for guests?
The closest is Windsor & Eton Central station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Could we have live paella in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We will check availability straight away.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Dedworth.
Will the neighbours notice?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
