Our paella party catering in Buckinghamshire

Tapas first, churros after and sangria throughout, and the party menu is complete. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers and garden parties and summer barbecues, serving churros, seafood paella and tapas.

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape.

First, we check the date and the space.
You choose your paellas and any extras.
We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Celebrations across Buckinghamshire

Across Buckinghamshire, town gardens tend to be smaller and village lanes narrower. Tell us which applies to you. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Buckinghamshire, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking.

Aylesbury: After a christening at a church like Church of St Mary, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. If guests are coming by rail, Aylesbury has its own station, Aylesbury station. For a late-May party in Aylesbury, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Dishes our guests love

Vegetable paella

Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters often try it too.

Seafood paella

A seafood pan with prawns and mussels, for the fish lovers.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

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.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

Plan a covered spot for wet weather
Put out bins for general waste and recycling
Keep children and pets away from the burners
Plan seats for most guests

Kids are fascinated by the huge pans.

Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

Who books paella party catering?

It works whatever the occasion, from christenings to retirements.

In Buckinghamshire and nearby, we cater all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
Leaving dos and retirements
Wakes and celebrations of life
Baby celebrations

Planning the cooking area

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Level ground for the pans and burners
Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

FAQs for Buckinghamshire

How many different paellas?

Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

Does it make a lot of smoke?

There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Buckinghamshire.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

How early should we book?

Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we will check.

Is paella OK for kids?

Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.

Is the paella cooked on site?

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
