About our paella catering in Bierton
Keep it simple, or go all out: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We’ll suggest what suits your event. For milestone birthday parties and garden parties and summer barbecues, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and black rice for your guests.
For a rural spot like Bierton, the countryside is part of the appeal: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Tell us about access and the ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count adults and children separately
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Collect dietary needs with your RSVPs
- Let us know about other food at the event
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can enjoy your guests.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside and suit guests who aren’t big rice eaters.

FAQs for Bierton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How far is Bierton from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much does paella catering cost in Bierton?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Does paella work for big events?
Yes. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
How does live paella catering work?

What’s in the pans
Mixed paella
A mix of chicken and seafood, for guests who want a bit of everything.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
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. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast or barbecue, live paella is easier for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests, because each paella has its own pan. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Sangria and bar staff available
