Paella party catering in Greenham
Greenham questions
Is Greenham close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Could we have live paella in Sandleford Priory?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we will check.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you come to Greenham?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Greenham and across West Berkshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Paella party catering in Greenham, made fresh on the day
Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the party menu is complete. We are frequently asked to cater baby celebrations and milestone birthdays, with tapas, churros and seafood paella.
In a small place like Greenham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

What paella party catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

If guests are coming by rail, Newbury Racecourse station is about 0.9 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Shaw House (1.9 miles north) and Benham Park (3 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

What’s in the pans
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives to start.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It’s one of the most popular pans at parties, though it is not traditional in Valencia.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
