Common questions in Bennett End
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Bennett End from London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
How much does paella party catering cost in Bennett End?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Bennett End 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.
