About our paella catering in Beaconsfield
We arrive with the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook the paella in front of your guests. When it is ready, it’s served straight from the pan. Popular choices include seafood paella, paella Valenciana and vegan paella, and we are frequently booked for fairs, fêtes and festivals and company summer parties.
In Beaconsfield, live paella typically means a garden, a hall with outdoor space or a hired venue. Each works well, as long as there is a level spot to cook and somewhere close to park. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Questions from Beaconsfield
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you cover Beaconsfield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Beaconsfield is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Pans, burners and ingredients all come with us. You provide a suitable spot and access.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can paella be the only main course?
Paella is a meal in itself. Many hosts add tapas first or dessert after.
Where we can cook in Beaconsfield
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Chicken & chorizo paella

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Mention any other courses or food
- Confirm allergies by email
Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can relax.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal, or serve your own cake.
For event organisers in Beaconsfield
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Beaconsfield until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and diets.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, set up and start the stock.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.
Live paella or other catering?
With a barbecue, food comes in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
