How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Hawthorn Hill, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Hawthorn Hill parties: what to know
Hawthorn Hill is about 3 miles north of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. We bring paella party catering to homes, gardens and venues in Hawthorn Hill. We cook in all 41 towns and villages in Bracknell Forest. We cook right across the region, from Hawthorn Hill to Reading (10 miles away).
Historic houses near Hawthorn Hill include St Leonard's Hill (3.8 miles east) and Dorney Court (4.3 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends.
We cook at parties all over the RG42 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a party in a garden on Ascot Road and Maidenhead Road. Nearby, we also cater parties in Nuptown (1 mile south-east), Jealott's Hill (1 mile south-west), Moss End (1 mile south-west), Braywoodside (1 mile north) and Tickleback Row (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Bracknell (3 miles south), Sandhurst (8 miles south), Wick Hill (3 miles south), Priestwood (3 miles south-west), Binfield (3 miles south-west) and Great Hollands (4 miles south).
Well-known places in the area include Heatherwood Hospital (4 miles south-east) and The Lexicon (2.9 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Weycock Hill and Bray Pit.

Other catering in Hawthorn Hill
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hawthorn Hill? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Let the neighbours know
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have bins ready
At food time, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Common questions in Hawthorn Hill
Which station should guests use for Hawthorn Hill?
Bracknell station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
About the dishes

How we price paella party catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many courses
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
