Our caterer checklist

Paella party catering for your party in Frogmill

Paella is made for relaxed parties: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. On the menu are seafood paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we are frequently booked for milestone birthdays and christenings and naming days.

Country parties near Frogmill suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Questions from Frogmill

What’s the nearest station to Frogmill for guests?

Henley-On-Thames station, about 3.1 miles west of the centre.

Do you come out to small places like Frogmill?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

How far in advance should we book?

Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can you set up in a small garden?

Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.

How many different paellas?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.

How much space do you need?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.

The process

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Frogmill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

  1. Send us your date, address and numbers.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We set up before guests arrive.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

How to get a price

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Where we can cook in Frogmill

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Popular choices

  • Churros
  • Paella Valenciana
  • Mixed paella

  • Vegetable paella

Working with your venue

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

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.

Nearby historic houses include Harleyford Manor (1 mile north-east) and Greenlands (2.6 miles north-west).

How we price paella party catering

Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • The length of service
  • Your choice of paellas
  • How many guests are eating

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

  • The courses you’d like
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Where the event is
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
