Planning a party in Brill
Brill is about 6 miles north-west of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Tell us where your party in Brill will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We cook in 263 places across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Brill to Oxford (9 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Boarstall Tower (1.9 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Here we cover the HP18 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Your party could be at a home on High Street, The Square and Brae Hill or the roads around them. We also cook at parties in Little London (1 mile south-west), Oakley (1 mile south-west), Piddington (2 miles north), Ludgershall (2 miles north) and Blackthorn (4 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (10 miles east), Buckingham (13 miles north), Elmhurst (10 miles east), Southcourt (10 miles east), Princes Risborough (12 miles south-east) and Haydon Hill (9 miles east).
Not far away are Bernwood Meadows.
- Nearby, you will find The Red Lion pub (under half a mile south-east)

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Brill questions
Is Brill close to London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you come to Brill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Brill. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Generally. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What affects the price in Brill
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
- Travel, parking and access
- The paellas you choose
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
- The date and time of the event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Brill, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
