Paella party catering in Little Kingshill, cooked live
A paella party takes the cooking off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. Whether it’s baby celebrations and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
In a small place like Little Kingshill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Questions from Little Kingshill
We are having a ceremony at Church of Saints Peter and Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Little Kingshill close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
What does paella party catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cover Little Kingshill?

Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why Little Kingshill hosts choose us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- We cover Little Kingshill and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
