Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Live paella or other catering?
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a late-May party in Burroughs Grove, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Nearby historic houses include Harleyford Manor (3.3 miles south-west) and West Wycombe Park House (3.7 miles north-west).

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Mary the Virgin, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Burroughs Grove, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a picture of the space.
What does paella party catering cost?
