Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Catering across Buckinghamshire, including Hunt's Green
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
