Wendover: your questions answered

Is Wendover close to London?

Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?

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

Do you provide plates and cutlery?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

What happens if it rains?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.

How long does the paella take?

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

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Wendover?

The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Planners, venues and businesses

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.

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.

What corporate paella catering costs

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • How many guests are eating
  • Distance and access to the venue

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • What the venue already provides
  • The venue or postcode

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Wendover, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Should I cook it myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Wendover for staff parties and team days

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Think about shade and seating
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

Canapés for drinks receptions.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. After-work summer parties in Wendover have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
