We cater in all 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire. You can also see our page for Reading, about 7 miles away.
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St John the Baptist, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Parks such as Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve usually need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

What else we do in Padworth
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
- Vegetable paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Mixed paella
- Seafood paella
- Churros
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan seats for most guests
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
The process
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 Padworth stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
