About our paella party catering in Holly Green
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you are unsure. For big birthdays and garden get-togethers, we can cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In a small place like Holly Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about paella party catering in Holly Green
Is Holly Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Holly Green?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Crockery or disposables can be added.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Ask about your date.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
