Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:

- Company summer parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Paul's Church of England Combined School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser.

Paella catering for your event in Wooburn
Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: a garden, marquee, barn, courtyard or field in and around Wooburn. Popular choices include vegetable paella, mixed paella and paella Valenciana, and we’re frequently booked for anniversaries and engagement parties and garden parties and summer barbecues.
In a small place like Wooburn, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. 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. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Your questions about paella catering in Wooburn
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Wooburn for guests?
Bourne End station, about 0.9 miles west of the centre.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Which paellas do you recommend?
Two or three is usual: chicken or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. See the sample menu.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
Dishes our guests love
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: artichokes, beans, peppers and saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, which is when we usually call guests over.
We can add sangria and bar staff to serve drinks you provide.
Why choose live paella in Wooburn?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and it’s entertaining too. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Wooburn until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan cover in case of rain

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
