Planning a party in Horton
Horton is about 3 miles north of Egham, in Slough. Anywhere in SL3, we can cook for your guests. Horton is one of 31 places in Slough we cover. Our events stretch from Horton to Guildford (16 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Michael, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Frogmore House (2.5 miles west) and Windsor Castle (3 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
This part of Slough takes in SL3 and TW19. Streets in the area include Stanwell Road, Bells Lane and Foundry Lane, and we can cook for a party on any of them. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Brands Hill (1 mile north), Colnbrook (1 mile north-east), Sunnymeads (1 mile west), Poyle (1 mile north-east) and Wraysbury (1 mile south-west).

How our paella party catering works in Horton
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. Popular choices include churros, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and neighbourhood celebrations.
In a small place like Horton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Horton questions
Could we have live paella in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How far is Horton from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Step by step
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Horton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The courses you’d like
- The date and time of the event
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
