Paella catering in Turnfurlong
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Around midsummer it stays light in Turnfurlong until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, set up and start the stock.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Tell us when you want to eat

How our paella catering works in Turnfurlong
We cook every paella from scratch on the day, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. On the menu are seafood paella, paella Valenciana and vegan paella, and typical bookings are for festivals, fairs and school events and garden parties and summer barbecues.
Around Turnfurlong, events are frequently in gardens, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the van. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Mention any other courses or food
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal.
Common questions in Turnfurlong
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Turnfurlong for guests?
The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
How much does paella catering cost in Turnfurlong?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring all the cooking equipment. Let us know what your venue has, like tables or crockery.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Does paella work for big events?
Yes, that’s what it’s made for. We size pans and serving points to your guest list.
A closer look at the menu
Black rice
Black rice looks dramatic and tastes of the sea.
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Turnfurlong? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want something different from the usual buffet or roast, live paella brings colour, aroma and a touch of Spain to your event in Turnfurlong. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
