How our paella catering works in Woughton on the Green
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, very little goes to waste, and the food is served hot. That’s why it works for so many events. Typical bookings include family celebrations and christenings and engagement and anniversary parties, with vegan paella, black rice and mixed paella.
In a hamlet or village like Woughton on the Green, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a wonderful venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

About the dishes
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, finished with lemon wedges. It is normally the most photographed pan.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
After service, we pack down our cooking area, quietly and quickly.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Perfect for your event in Woughton on the Green
Paella is one of the few dishes that handles mixed diets easily, thanks to separate pans for each version. Everyone gets the same kind of meal.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We often cook for:
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Milestone birthday parties
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Weddings, from canapés to evening food
Parks such as Campbell Park normally need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there.

FAQs for Woughton on the Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Woughton on the Green close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Which paellas do you recommend?
It depends on your guests. A chicken or mixed paella is typically the most popular, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How does live paella catering work?
We arrive with pans, burners and ingredients, cook while everyone watches, and serve at the time you want.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
