Paella party catering for Nash events
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. For a late-May party in Nash, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have bins ready
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

Questions from Nash
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 generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Nash for guests?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Nash? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
