About paella catering in SL5

Paella is generous food: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It turns a meal into an occasion. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and birthday celebrations, with mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella.

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down.

  1. Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
  2. Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
  4. On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
  5. Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.

Catering events across SL5

There are 3 towns and 7 villages and hamlets in SL5, so whether your event is in Bracknell, North Ascot and The Warren or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.

North Ascot: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Ascot Heath Church of England Junior School, can book us as a food stall. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Ascot station, about 1 mile south-east. In North Ascot, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.

Comparing caterers

  • The venue requirements
  • Whether travel is included
  • The wet-weather plan
  • How each diet is kept separate

Space, weather and the venue

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Somewhere close to park and unload

About the dishes

Seafood paella

Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s the pan people photograph.

Paella Valenciana

The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It’s a favourite with guests who don’t eat fish.

How we price paella catering

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • Parking and unloading
  • The number of people
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What we need to know

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • The date and rough timings
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

Your questions about paella catering in SL5

Can you feed a lot of people?

Yes. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.

Can you cater for children?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Is halal food available?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including SL5.

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
