Your questions about corporate paella catering in Checkendon
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Checkendon?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
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 are not sure.
What paperwork do you have?
Let us know what’s required, and we will send what you need.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Checkendon?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
For event organisers in Checkendon
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Checkendon are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.

- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
