How paella catering works in SL0
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field. We are often asked to cater community events and fairs and office lunches and staff parties, serving seafood paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.
Cost
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Planning live paella in SL0
There are 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets in SL0, so whether your event is in Iver Heath, Iver and Richings Park or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.
Iver Heath: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Iver Heath Infant School and Nursery, can book us as a food stall. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Iver station, about 2.1 miles south. Around midsummer it stays light in Iver Heath until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
Paella compared with other options
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and the food sits out. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot.
Comparing caterers
- Space, access and power needs
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the team stays
- How late numbers can change
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
What’s in the pans
Mixed paella
Paella mixta combines meat and seafood in one pan, and it is often the first pan to empty.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in SL0? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
