Common questions in Buckingham
Is Buckingham close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Buckingham, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Other catering in Buckingham
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
