Paella catering near Wooburn Common
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
How our paella catering works in Wooburn Common
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’re often asked to cater naming days and family parties and company summer parties, serving chicken and chorizo paella, mixed paella and seafood paella.
In a rural place like Wooburn Common, the setting does plenty of the work: a paella cooking in a garden or field feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

FAQs for Wooburn Common
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. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

We will suggest seafood to suit your menu and budget. Premium shellfish can be added.
What equipment do you bring?

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. Evenings in Wooburn Common stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light to cook and serve by.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put allergy details in writing
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
We can add sangria and bar staff to serve drinks you provide.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
