About paella catering in RG9
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will suggest what suits your event. We cook vegan paella, black rice and paella Valenciana, and we are often booked for festivals, fairs and school events and garden get-togethers.
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss.
- 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.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

Planning live paella in RG9
RG9 covers everything from Henley-on-Thames, Sonning Common and Lower Shiplake to 34 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across RG9, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.
Henley-on-Thames: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Trinity Church of England Primary School, can book us as a food stall. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Holy Trinity Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. Planning an evening event in Henley-on-Thames? 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.
Why live paella works
Paella is quick to serve and suits mixed diets, which is why it works for so many occasions. It also gives guests something to watch and talk about.
Almost any gathering can work with live paella. In RG9, people book us for occasions like:
- Garden get-togethers
- Community events and fairs
- Retirement celebrations
- Birthday celebrations
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we serve when guests are ready.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
The menu, dish by dish
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, not seafood. It’s a favourite with guests who do not eat fish.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it is often the first pan to empty.
What paella catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
