What affects the price in Quarrendon Estate
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- The paellas you choose
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field

Questions from Quarrendon Estate
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Quarrendon Estate for guests?
Aylesbury station, about 1.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Quarrendon Estate.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Quarrendon Estate stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
