Parties in High Wycombe: gardens, venues and local tips
High Wycombe is about 28 miles south of Milton Keynes, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your party is in the middle of High Wycombe or on the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 263 places in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 16 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Hughenden Manor (1.5 miles north) and West Wycombe Park House (2.5 miles west). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. If guests are coming by rail, High Wycombe has its own station, High Wycombe station. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of High Wycombe, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Paella party catering in HP13, HP11, HP12 and HP10 is planned around your venue and your guests. From High Street, Church Square and Queens Square or anywhere nearby, we can cook there. High Wycombe sits on or near the A40 and A404, so getting the burners and pans to your party is simple.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in High Wycombe 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them

- Make sure children stay back from the pans

Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

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 cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Typically, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a photo and we’ll check.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Live paella or other catering?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
