Paella party catering in Oakley Green
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Your date and when you want to eat
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
How our paella party catering works in Oakley Green
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Popular choices include seafood paella, tapas and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and anniversaries and engagement parties.
In a small place like Oakley Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a late-May party in Oakley Green, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day

Party venues around Oakley Green
Oakley Green is about 1 mile west of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. For a party in Oakley Green, we can cook in gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and offices. Oakley Green is one of 57 towns and villages in Windsor and Maidenhead we cover. We cook right across the region, from Oakley Green to Reading (about 14 miles away).
Parks such as Sutherland Grange typically need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is frequently easier. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Windsor & Eton Central station, about 2.3 miles east.
Here we cover the SL4 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. Local streets include Bishops Farm Close, Dedworth Road and Oakley Green Road; a party at home on any of them works well with live paella. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Dedworth (1 mile east), Water Oakley (1 mile north-west), Boveney (1 mile north-east), Fifield (1 mile west) and Windsor (1 mile east). We also cook in nearby towns such as Maidenhead (4 miles north-west), Boyn Hill (4 miles north-west), North Ascot (4 miles south), Cookham (6 miles north-west), Furze Platt (5 miles north-west) and Broomhall (6 miles south).
A little further out are Windsor Castle (2.6 miles east) and The History On Wheels Museum (2.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Taplow Lake and Bray Pit.

- Pubs nearby include The Greene Oak pub (less than half a mile east)
What’s in the pans
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Chicken and chorizo is a crowd-pleaser, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Oakley Green: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Typically, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a photo and we’ll check.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan seats for most guests
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Give separate numbers for children
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
