Questions from Hazlemere
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues 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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Do you cater in Hazlemere?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Hazlemere is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Hazlemere 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 pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners

- Let the neighbours know
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Why choose live paella in Hazlemere?
