Paella catering in Milton Keynes: what to expect

Paella is generous food: big pans, bright colours and a crispy base everyone wants a spoonful of. It makes the food an event in itself. We’re frequently asked to cater christenings and family gatherings and anniversaries and engagement parties, with vegan paella, paella Valenciana and seafood paella.

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring.

First, tell us about your event.
We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
We serve from the pan, then pack down.

Paella catering in Milton Keynes: local guide

Across Milton Keynes, we cook in 4 towns and 45 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Bletchley and Fenny Stratford to a quiet hamlet: a level, ventilated spot and a clear plan.

Occasions we cook for in Milton Keynes

It is ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, with guests mingling as it cooks before sitting down to eat.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

Leaving dos and retirements
Anniversaries and engagement parties
Naming days and family parties
Staff parties and work lunches

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Space, weather and the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

Paella compared with other options

A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and it is entertaining too.

For planners, venues and organisers

Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
