How our paella party catering works in Amersham
Add tapas to start, churros for afters and a jug of sangria, and the whole menu is sorted. We cook mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and we are often booked for street and neighbourhood parties and celebrations of life.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Amersham often happen at home or in a local hall. Live paella works at both, as long as there’s outdoor or ventilated space. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

FAQs for Amersham
We’re having a ceremony at St. Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Amersham?
Yes, we do. Amersham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.

A closer look at the menu
Churros
Churros are a treat for all ages.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It is one of the most popular pans at parties, though it isn’t traditional in Valencia.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Where we can cook in Amersham
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Amersham? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want to eat
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in 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. A summer party in Amersham stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
