How our paella party catering works in Higher Denham
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. For leaving dos and retirements and summer garden parties, we can cook vegetable paella, tapas and mixed paella and more.
A country party near Higher Denham is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

If guests are coming by rail, Denham Golf Club station is in Higher Denham itself. Nearby historic houses include Ickenham Hall (3.6 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, it is light in Higher Denham until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
