What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. A summer party in Fleet Marston stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Fleet Marston questions
How far is Fleet Marston from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Will the neighbours notice?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 will do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
