Paella catering across SL3
A couple of different pans covers everyone: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Every pan is cooked on its own. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, paella Valenciana and black rice, and we’re often booked for staff parties and work lunches and family celebrations and christenings.
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers 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.

Live paella across SL3: what to know
SL3 covers everything from Langley, Upton and Datchet to 13 small villages and hamlets, and live paella suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Langley: For guests coming by train, Langley station is about 0.5 miles away. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like The Langley Academy Primary, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Langley 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.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella compared with other options
If you want something different from the usual buffet or roast, live paella brings colour, aroma and a touch of Spain to your event in SL3.

- Travel, parking and access

What’s in the pans
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It is often the most popular pan at an event.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.
