About our paella catering in Eversholt
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Each is cooked separately. Whether it is milestone birthday parties and naming days and family parties, we’ll put together a menu of seafood paella, vegetable paella and mixed paella for your guests.
For a rural spot like Eversholt, the countryside is part of the appeal: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
- The paellas you choose
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Eversholt, 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 3:50pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a menu idea and a clear, itemised price.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

FAQs for Eversholt
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Eversholt?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Are premium seafood options available?
We’ll talk through seafood options when we plan your menu.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Paella Valenciana
- Vegan paella
- Black rice (arroz negro)
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Mixed paella
- Vegetable paella
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
