How paella catering works in RG12
There is something generous about paella: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It turns a meal into an occasion. Popular choices include black rice, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella, and we’re frequently booked for engagement and anniversary parties and office lunches and staff parties.
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.

Bracknell: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Ranelagh School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. For guests coming by train, Bracknell has its own station, Bracknell station. Planning an evening event in Bracknell? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment

What’s in the pans
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, traditionally with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, not seafood. It’s a favourite with guests who don’t eat fish.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count adults and children separately
- Tell us what else is being served
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Paella is best eaten as soon as it’s ready, so we serve when guests are ready.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
For event organisers in RG12

Common questions in RG12
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is paella a full meal?
Paella is a meal in itself. Tapas and desserts can be added if you like.
Which paella is most popular?
Two or three is usual: a mixed or chicken paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. See the sample menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you feed plenty of people?
It’s ideal. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
