What affects the price in Boyn Hill

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • How many guests are eating
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • How many courses

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

What to tell us

These details help us quote quickly:

  • The courses you’d like
  • What the venue already provides
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Should I cook it myself?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Space, weather and the venue

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • An area to prepare hot tapas
  • Room for a tapas table
  • Parking near the venue

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Popular choices

  • Serrano ham
  • Gambas al ajillo
  • Croquetas
  • Tortilla española
  • Patatas bravas
  • Chorizo in red wine
  • Albóndigas
  • Olives & bread
  • Manchego & membrillo
  • Padrón peppers

Planning for every diet

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

  • Canapés need staff to serve
  • Match tapas with Spanish drinks
  • Collect dietary needs
  • Separate seafood dishes from the rest

Tapas go out to the tables.

Step by step

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer drinks reception in Boyn Hill has daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

  1. We check your date.
  2. You choose canapés, table tapas or both.
  3. We set up on arrival.
  4. We serve the spread.
  5. We clear away at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Boyn Hill questions

Which station should guests use for Boyn Hill?

Maidenhead station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.

Can you cook in Ockwells Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Do you cater for young children?

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

How many tapas per person?

Quantities depend on timing and courses. Give us the details and we’ll advise.

Are there vegetarian tapas?

Lots. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Do you take everything away?

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