Planning an event in Iver?
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Paella catering for your event in Iver
There’s something generous about paella: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It makes the food an event in itself. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and naming days and family parties, with black rice, vegan paella and paella Valenciana.
In a rural place like Iver, the setting does a lot of the work: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Tell us about access and the ground. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated.

What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it’s often the first pan to empty.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count adults and children separately
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
After service, we pack down our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.

Common questions in Iver
Is Iver close to London?
About 18 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Is paella enough as a main?
It is a full meal on its own. Tapas and desserts can be added if you like.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cater in Iver?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Iver and the rest of Buckinghamshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

How the day works

- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive early to set up the burners and pans.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.
