Hosting a paella party in Lake End
Lake End is about 2 miles west of Slough, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Give us the address of your party in Lake End, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Lake End is one of 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead where we cook. Our events stretch from Lake End to Reading (about 14 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Dorney Court (0.6 miles south-west) and St Leonard's Hill (2.9 miles south).

Common questions in Lake End
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you come to Lake End?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Lake End is within our area and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Lake End until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Planning help
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Let the neighbours know
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
Seafood paella normally gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
