Paella party catering for your party in Goddard's Green
The smell of paella cooking is the best party invitation. Guests gather round, glass in hand, to watch. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and anniversary celebrations, with chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and churros.
In a small place like Goddard's Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Goddard's Green stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Warn the neighbours
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Have bins ready
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
We are set up before guests arrive.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.

Common questions in Goddard's Green
What’s the nearest station to Goddard's Green for guests?
Mortimer station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
Is Goddard's Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
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.
Do you come to Goddard's Green?
We do. We cook at events in Goddard's Green and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we will check.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
