Our paella catering in RG41
Live paella catering means we bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients to your event and cook in front of your guests. Once it’s ready, we serve it hot from the pan. On the menu are seafood paella, mixed paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for office lunches and staff parties and milestone birthday parties.
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote, including what’s included.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.
Cost
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- A clear, itemised quote
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Catering events across RG41
Across RG41, we cook in 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Lower Earley, Winnersh and Woosehill to a quiet hamlet: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.
Winnersh: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as The Forest School, can book us as a food stall. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Mary the Virgin, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Planning an evening event in Winnersh? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
What paella catering costs

- The length of service

Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, finished with lemon wedges. It’s the pan people photograph.
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, and is normally served with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Tell us what else is being served
- Have seats for most of your guests
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not provide them.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Vans serve one order at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, so everyone can eat at the same time.
Comparing caterers

- If the price includes VAT
- How many staff are coming, and for how long

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
