How our paella party catering works in Aylesbury
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. We are frequently asked to cater big birthdays and street and neighbourhood parties, with mixed paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
A large place like Aylesbury has lots of party venues, but home is frequently the best venue of all. Let us know about parking and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Questions from Aylesbury
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Aylesbury for guests?
Aylesbury station, in Aylesbury itself.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Tell us how many and their ages.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Where we can cook in Aylesbury
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Chicken & chorizo paella

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. For a late-May party in Aylesbury, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
