Paella catering in Milton Regis
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Give us separate numbers for children
Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can relax.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
How our paella catering works in Milton Regis
Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That’s what we bring to events in Milton Regis. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and black rice, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and leaving dos and retirements.
Somewhere as small as Milton Regis, a garden or field is frequently the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.

How we price paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It’s frequently the most popular pan at an event.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Milton Regis, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We cook live on the day while guests watch.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Give us a contact for the day
