Paella catering in RG7: what to expect
Almost any venue with a level, ventilated spot will do: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field in and around RG7. We are often asked to cater family celebrations and christenings and big birthdays, serving chicken and chorizo paella, paella Valenciana and vegan paella.
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- We serve hot from the pan and clear our cooking area.
What it costs in RG7
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Catering across West Berkshire, including RG7

Live paella across RG7: what to know
Across RG7, we cook in 3 towns and 50 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Tadley, Burghfield Common and Whitley Wood or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.
Burghfield Common: Historic houses near Burghfield Common include Stratfield Saye House (4.4 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking, so ask early if you’re booking one. 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. Evenings in Burghfield Common stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
Is live paella right for you?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving.
Questions to ask before booking
- Plates, cutlery and napkins, or disposables
- What happens if it rains
- A clear list of what’s included
- Any travel, parking or access charges
What paella catering costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us what else is being served
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or serve your own cake.
Questions from RG7
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the pans, burners and ingredients. You provide a suitable spot and access.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
