Planners, venues and businesses

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Shirburn? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

The process

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Shirburn, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Shirburn questions

Do you come out to small places like Shirburn?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Can staff get involved?

Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll see what works.
