DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Festival paella catering in Nether Winchendon, cooked live
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. For village fêtes and summer fairs and farmers’ and Christmas markets, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella for your guests.
At a field event near Nether Winchendon, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Nether Winchendon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Nether Winchendon have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
