Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors

If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

DIY paella versus live catering

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Questions from Watermead

Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

What’s the nearest station to Watermead for guests?

The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 1.4 miles away.

What does corporate paella catering cost?

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Should we have more than one paella?

Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

Will there be enough food?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

Do you work in winter?

With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why us?

  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Catering across Buckinghamshire, including Watermead
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Sangria and bar staff available

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. After-work summer parties in Watermead have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.
