Catering events across RG42

There are 3 towns and 11 villages and hamlets in RG42, so the setting can be anything from Bracknell, Wick Hill and Priestwood to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.

Priestwood: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Meadow Vale Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Andrew, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Evenings in Priestwood stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.

Catering for every guest

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Request clear labels at the serving table
  • Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
  • Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
  • Confirm allergies by email

Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, and that is when we invite guests up.

Need plates or staff? We can provide them.

Events we cater in RG42

  • Wedding breakfasts and evening food

Space, weather and the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot

Working with your venue

Organising a club, school or community event in RG42? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Dishes our guests love

Black rice

Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, and is normally served with alioli. It’s a striking addition to a seafood menu.

Vegetable and vegan paella

A vegetable paella isn’t an afterthought: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron, cooked in its own pan.

Questions from RG42

How much space do you need?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

We cover London and the South East, including Bracknell Forest. See all areas.

What about pudding?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
