Kingsash is about 5 miles north-west of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. For a party in Kingsash, we cater in back gardens, halls with outdoor space, barns, marquees and offices. We cover 263 places across Buckinghamshire. We cook right across the region, from Kingsash to Milton Keynes (about 20 miles away).

Historic houses near Kingsash include Cholesbury Manor House (2.7 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. After a christening at a church like Old Church of St John the Baptist, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends.

For event organisers in Kingsash

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Paella compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Why Kingsash hosts choose us

  • Fast service from the pan
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • No hidden extras in your quote

DIY paella versus live catering

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

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.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Warn the neighbours
  • Plan a covered spot for wet weather
  • Count adults and children separately
  • Collect dietary needs with your invites

When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.

Add bread, salad and lemon.

FAQs for Kingsash

Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Is Kingsash too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can you provide dessert?

We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.

Will the neighbours notice?

Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Who clears up?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Step by step

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Sunset in Kingsash is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Let us know the timings for the day
