Where we can cook in Bracknell
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Sangria & bar staff
- Table tapas
- Canapé tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Dessert
- Evening paella
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Bracknell, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
