Paella party catering near Wraysbury
How our paella party catering works in Wraysbury
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella. We are frequently asked to cater big birthdays and wakes and celebrations of life, with churros, tapas and chicken and chorizo paella.
Around Wraysbury, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. A paella pan fits right in. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. At midsummer, it is light in Wraysbury 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.

Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, if it applies
- What happens if it rains
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- When payment is due
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
