Established in 2020, we bring you the taste of Valencia, most famously represented by Paella and other rice dishes. Born in Valencia but raised in England, I always harboured a desire to share Valencia’s amazing cuisine with my English friends. Over many years, I have cooked endless tortilla de patatas, tapas and Paellas - always informally and without payment.
The opportunity to work with Xavi Meroño (London Paella School & Paella Shack) led to successful pop-ups at the Beaconsfield Market and Emmetts Farm (Little Marlow). COVID was an unexpected boon to the business given that many street food and takeaway businesses were allowed to remain open.
We continued to grow the business catering for all kinds of events - weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, school leaver parties, first communions, corporate events and street food gigs and various pop-ups at local pubs and restaurants.
At the start of 2022 we also introduced our ‘Paella-in-a-Pan’ delivery/collection service which was extremely well-received and is where we want to focus the business moving forwards.
Salud, amor y Paella!

Bocado (meaning, ‘a mouthful’ in Spanish) opened its doors in early December 2024.
It represents another milestone in Valencia Supper Club’s vision to grow the Paella business to truly be able to offer a unique ‘Paella drive-thru’ service. The takeaway premises will offer tea, coffee, cold drinks and a variety of Spanish snacks, tapas, bocadillos seasonal specials.
Flying under the Valencia Supper Club banner, Bocado will also offer Paella in portions for takeaway and the ability to order Paella Pans (for collection and limited delivery). There is some seating indoors for those wishing to escape the winter and plans for an outdoor area for the Spring and Summer months.
We are based opposite Bourne End train station with parking available.
From our base of operations in Bourne End (SL8 5YS) we can offer the following services:
Private catering for events such as - birthday parties, anniversaries, holy communions, christenings, school leaver parties etc.
Corporate catering - office lunches, summer parties, team-building classes, paella pan delivery
Paella classes - launching in 2025 we can offer classes to groups, individuals, schools and even corporate for team-building activities. Classes can be organised both at Paella HQ or at private residences, school premises or corporate offices as required.
Pop-up - we can offer a pop-up service for pubs, restaurants or sports clubs that want to offer something different to their customers. We have worked many such businesses in the south Bucks area.
