What else we do in Forty Green
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Forty Green 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.

Hosting a paella party in Forty Green
Forty Green is about 1 mile north-west of Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire. For a party in Forty Green, we cater in back gardens, halls with outdoor space, barns, marquees and offices. Forty Green is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our events stretch from Forty Green to Reading (about 18 miles away).
Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Cliveden (4.1 miles south) and Hughenden Manor (4.6 miles north-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Forty Green, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Here we cover the HP9 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Your party could be at a home on Riding Lane, Brindle Lane and Hogback Wood Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Knotty Green (1 mile north-east), Beaconsfield (1 mile south-east), Beacon Hill (1 mile north-west), Ledborough (1 mile east) and Loudwater (2 miles west).

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Why choose paella party catering in Forty Green?
One big dish beats lots of fiddly ones.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We frequently cook for:
- Garden parties and summer barbecues
- Leaving dos and retirements
- Naming days and christenings
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Beaconsfield station, about 0.9 miles east.

Your questions about paella party catering in Forty Green
How far is Forty Green from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Forty Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Let the neighbours know
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Sangria sets the mood.
Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us

- Sangria and bar staff available
