Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. December events in Long Crendon are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Long Crendon
Is Long Crendon close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Long Crendon?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why book with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
