Paella party catering in Bow Brickhill, cooked live
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer barbecues and birthday parties, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and seafood paella.
In a small place like Bow Brickhill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions to ask before you book
- If the price includes VAT
- What the price includes, item by item
- What happens if it rains
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d cook
- What the venue already provides
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Your questions about paella party catering in Bow Brickhill
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Bow Brickhill too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.

How it works
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. For a late-May party in Bow Brickhill, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
