FAQs for Milton Regis
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Milton Regis from London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
What does paella party catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Paella party catering for your party in Milton Regis
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. We’re often asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and milestone birthdays, serving seafood paella, vegetable paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Country parties near Milton Regis suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Milton Regis until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
