Horsleys Green questions
How far is Horsleys Green from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Horsleys Green?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Is my garden big enough?
Normally, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What affects the price in Horsleys Green
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella fits perfectly. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Fast service from the pan
- A clear, itemised quote
- Catering across Buckinghamshire, including Horsleys Green
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
