Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

- Real theatre, not just catering
Planning a party in White Waltham
White Waltham is about 3 miles south-west of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Across the SL6 area, we can bring the pans to you. We cook in 57 places across Windsor and Maidenhead. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 9 miles away.
Parks such as Ockwells Park normally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Mary, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.
This part of Windsor and Maidenhead takes in SL6. Your party could be at a home on Waltham Road, Church View and Innings Lane or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater parties in Shottesbrooke (1 mile south-west), Littlefield Green (1 mile south-east), Paley Street (1 mile south-east), Braywoodside (2 miles south-east) and Stud Green (2 miles east). We also cook in nearby towns such as Maidenhead (3 miles north-east), Windsor (6 miles east), North Ascot (6 miles south-east), Cookham (5 miles north), Furze Platt (3 miles north-east) and Dedworth (5 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include St Mark's Hospital (2.6 miles north-east) and The Reitlinger Bequest Museum (3.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Taplow Lake and Weycock Hill.
- Schools near White Waltham include Manor Green School (1.3 miles north-east) and Cox Green School (1.4 miles north-east)

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Have bins ready
- Warn the neighbours
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Churros
- Seafood paella
- Tapas
- Mixed paella
- Vegetable paella
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it is light in White Waltham until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
