How paella catering works in RG20
One cooking area feeds a lot of people, there’s very little waste, and the food is served hot. It is why live paella suits so many kinds of event. We’re often asked to cater birthday celebrations and leaving dos and retirements, with paella Valenciana, seafood paella and vegetable paella.
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Paella catering in RG20: local guide
RG20 covers everything from Newbury, Speenhamland and Kingsclere to 47 small villages and hamlets, and live paella suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across RG20, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking.
Kingsclere: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Kingsclere Church of England Primary School, can book us as a food stall. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Mary, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Planning an evening event in Kingsclere? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
For event organisers in RG20
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in RG20? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella is not an afterthought: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron.
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron, and it is a crowd-pleaser.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Is live paella right for you?
With a barbecue, food comes in waves. Paella is cooked as one big dish and served together.
