Paella catering for your event in Walton
Almost any venue with a level, ventilated spot will do: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields. Typical bookings include office lunches and staff parties and festivals, fairs and school events, with vegan paella, black rice and mixed paella.
Somewhere as small as Walton, a garden or field is frequently the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and a firm spot near where we park makes set-up easier. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Catering an event in Walton
Walton is about 1 mile west of Turnfurlong, in Buckinghamshire. Events in Walton are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. Walton is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. You can also see our page for Milton Keynes, about 16 miles away.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Holy Trinity, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Aylesbury High School, can book us as a food stall. Walton is within about 5 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, a lovely setting for an outdoor event. Check your venue’s rules on vehicles and cooking.

Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For something a little different, live paella brings colour, aroma and a touch of Spain. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- We cover Walton and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
A closer look at the menu
Black rice
Arroz negro is coloured and flavoured with squid ink, and is typically served with alioli. It makes a dramatic second seafood pan.
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The traditional pan has chicken, flat green beans and butter beans, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
How we price paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Where the event is
- Which courses you have in mind
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
FAQs for Walton
How far is Walton from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Which station should guests use for Walton?
Aylesbury station, in Walton itself.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Which paellas suit our guests?
It depends on your guests. A chicken or mixed paella is usually the most popular, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
What is live paella catering?
We arrive with pans, burners and ingredients, cook in front of your guests, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll serve, clear and help keep things moving, so you can enjoy your guests.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Walton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote, including what’s included.
- On the day we arrive in good time, set up and start the stock.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Tell us when you want to eat
