Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Have bins ready
- Have cover ready for a shower

The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
Paella party catering in Mill End, cooked live
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in the garden or venue and cook as your guests chat. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and churros.
A country party near Mill End is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Party venues around Mill End
Mill End is about 4 miles west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in RG9, we can bring the pans to you. Mill End is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 9 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Mary, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. Thinking of a party in Fawley Court and Temple Island? Cooking in a public park usually needs permission from the council or landowner, so check first. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Mill End, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We cook at parties all over the RG9 postcode area and the streets around it. We also cook at parties in Aston (1 mile south), Remenham (1 mile south-west), Medmenham (1 mile east), Remenham Hill (1 mile south) and Bockmer End (2 miles east).

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Mill End: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Mill End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Will the neighbours notice?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. Let the neighbours know.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We’ll check availability straight away.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Sunset in Mill End is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
How to prepare

What paella party catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of paellas
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook

Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
