Paella party catering in Chesham Bois, made fresh on the day
Paella is relaxed food: served from the pan, shared and enjoyed, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Typical bookings include celebrations of life and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, serving churros, tapas and seafood paella.
Parties around Chesham Bois are frequently relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. Live paella fits right in. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it’s light in Chesham Bois until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

How far is Chesham Bois from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.
Where do you cater?

How do you work out quantities?

Live paella or other catering?
