Buckland events: pitches and permissions
Buckland is about 5 miles east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Buckland to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. We cook right across the region, from Buckland to Milton Keynes (about 16 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Wendover station, about 3.2 miles south-west. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of All Saints, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. Within about 4 miles is the Chilterns National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
Anywhere in HP22, we can cook for your guests. From Peggs Lane and New Road or a nearby road, we can cook there. We also cook at events in Aston Clinton (1 mile west), Broughton (3 miles north-west) and Bedgrove (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (5 miles west), High Wycombe (12 miles south), Chesham (8 miles south-east), Amersham (10 miles south-east), Beaconsfield (14 miles south) and Chalfont St Peter (15 miles south-east).

Organising for someone else?
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.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. Evening events in Buckland have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
