Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Clifton Reynes: your questions answered
Is Clifton Reynes too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you cater in Clifton Reynes?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Clifton Reynes and across Milton Keynes. Send us your date to check availability.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
