Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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.
How the day works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in Fenny Stratford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Why choose live paella in Fenny Stratford?
Hog roasts don’t suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us

- Everything cooked fresh at your event

- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
