DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Planning help
Aston Clinton: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station should guests use for Aston Clinton?
Stoke Mandeville station, about 2.7 miles west of the centre.
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 cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
