About our paella catering in Aston Clinton
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, then the stock, saffron and rice. We cook paella Valenciana, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary celebrations and milestone birthday parties.
There may be a hall or club near Aston Clinton if your garden is small; any can work for paella, with permission and somewhere outside to cook. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Is live paella right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but has no theatre, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Dishes our guests love
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together.
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, cooked until the rice is golden. It is the pan people photograph.

What happens on the day

Around midsummer it stays light in Aston Clinton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.

- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
