Live paella party catering in Taplow
Taplow: your questions answered
Can you cook in Braywick Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Taplow?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables can be added.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
