About our paella party catering in Milebush
It’s easy to cater for a mix of guests: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood pan and a vegetable or vegan pan side by side. A plain chicken paella keeps children happy. Whether it is anniversaries and engagement parties and birthday parties, we can cook mixed paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In a small place like Milebush, 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. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Common questions in Milebush
We’re having a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Milebush?
Marden station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
