Paella catering across RG14

A couple of different pans covers everyone: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Each is cooked separately, so diets are easy to manage. Typical bookings include company summer parties and summer garden parties, with paella Valenciana, vegan paella and mixed paella.

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
  2. You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, set up and start the stock.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
  5. We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.

Live paella across RG14: what to know

From Newbury, Speenhamland and Shaw to 7 villages and hamlets, events across RG14 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and live paella works in all of them. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.

Newbury: For guests coming by train, Newbury has its own station, Newbury station. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Nicolas Church, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Evenings in Newbury stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.

What affects the price in RG14

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • The paellas you choose
  • How many courses
  • The number of people
  • Whether you need crockery

Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

For event organisers in RG14

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

With a barbecue, food comes in waves. Paella is cooked as one big dish and served together.

  • Travel and parking costs

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Questions from RG14

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Which paellas do you recommend?

Most events choose two or three: chicken or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. See the sample menu.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.

Should we have more than one paella?

Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
