Milton parties: what to know
Milton is about 2 miles north-west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. For paella party catering in Milton, we can cook in gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and offices in and around Milton. We cook in all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 9 miles away.
Historic houses near Milton include Clifton Hampden Manor (4.3 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Blaise, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Milton, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
We cook at parties all over OX14 and OX11 and the streets around it. We can cater a party on streets such as High Street, School Lane and Willow Lane. Close by, we cover parties in Sutton Courtenay (1 mile north-east), Great Western Park (2 miles south-east), Caldecott (2 miles north), Culham (2 miles north-east) and Didcot (2 miles south-east).

What paella party catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
