How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, it’s light in Mursley until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning help
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Bletchley station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Mursley too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Let the neighbours know
- Count adults and children separately
Children love watching the paella cook, from a safe distance.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
What affects the price in Mursley
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
