About our paella party catering in Great Kingshill
A paella party works in most gardens, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a picture. Typical bookings include naming days and christenings and retirement celebrations, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and mixed paella.
A country party near Great Kingshill is perfect for paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Great Kingshill 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.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

Your questions about paella party catering in Great Kingshill
What’s the nearest station to Great Kingshill for guests?
Great Missenden station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Live paella or other catering?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
