Paella catering in Turville Heath
About our paella catering in Turville Heath
A couple of different pans covers everyone: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Every pan is cooked on its own, so diets are easy to manage. We cook vegetable paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and staff parties and work lunches.
In a hamlet or village like Turville Heath, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a wonderful venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests are eating
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Turville Heath, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
