How the day works

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Glebe Farm stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. We arrive before your guests and set up.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

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.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Ask guests about diets when you invite them
  • Have enough chairs for most guests
  • Plan where rubbish goes
  • Make sure children stay back from the pans

When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.

Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

About the dishes

Tapas

Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives to start.

Vegetable paella

Vegetarians get a real main course.

How we price paella party catering

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • How many courses
  • Parking and unloading
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Guest numbers

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What to tell us

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The date and time of the event

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your party, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

Your questions about paella party catering in Glebe Farm

Is Glebe Farm close to London?

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Glebe Farm.

What do you need at the venue?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Do you cater in Glebe Farm?

We do. We cook at events in Glebe Farm and across Milton Keynes. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.

Can you supply crockery?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we will add it to the quote.

Events we cater in Glebe Farm

It feels like a holiday in your own garden.

Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:

  • Birthday parties
  • Leaving dos and retirements
  • Anniversaries and engagement parties
  • Celebrations of life

Historic houses near Glebe Farm include Bletchley Park (3.9 miles south-west) and Woburn Abbey (4.6 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Our caterer checklist

Live paella or other catering?

A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why us?

  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Catering across Milton Keynes, including Glebe Farm

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
