About paella catering in GU46
We arrive with the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook the paella in front of your guests. When it’s ready, it is served straight from the pan. We cook vegetable paella, vegan paella and mixed paella, and we are often booked for company summer parties and weddings, from canapés to evening food.
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
What you will pay
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Fast service from the pan

Planning live paella in GU46
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in GU46, so whether your event is in Yateley, Frogmore and Darby Green or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Yateley: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Peter, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Thinking of a picnic-style party in Ambarrow Court? Public parks generally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. In Yateley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
What’s in the pans
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron.
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
Once everyone is fed, we clear our cooking area.
Tapas or canapés make a good start as the rice cooks.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Questions from GU46
Is paella enough as a main?
It can be. Paella with bread and salad makes a full main course.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Yes. Big pans feed plenty of people, and service from the pan is quick.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Which paellas suit our guests?
Two or three is usual: chicken or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. Our menu lists the options.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
