Popular choices include vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella, and typical bookings are for company summer parties and milestone birthday parties.
There are lots of options in a town like Bletchley: a garden, a club, a hall or a hired venue. We will agree the cooking spot beforehand. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. In Bletchley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Count adults and children separately
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, and that’s when we invite guests up.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who are not big rice eaters.
