For event organisers in Enborne
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How our paella party catering works in Enborne
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The pans become the focal point, and the food is served hot and generous. Whether it is anniversaries and engagement parties and wakes and memorial gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, churros and tapas for your guests.
In a small place like Enborne, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Your questions about paella party catering in Enborne
Is Enborne close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Do you cover Enborne?
We do. Enborne is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Step by step
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Enborne, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
How to get a price

What else we do in Enborne
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Dishes our guests love
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives while the paella cooks.
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels.
