How our paella party catering works in Marlow Bottom
Mixed groups are easy: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children typically love a simple chicken paella. Popular choices include seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and tapas, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and street and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like Marlow Bottom, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

What paella party catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Common questions in Marlow Bottom
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Marlow Bottom close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
How much does paella party catering cost in Marlow Bottom?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How the day works
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 we time everything to your schedule. For a late-May party in Marlow Bottom, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Let the neighbours know
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans, from a safe distance.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
