Paella party catering for your party in Newport Pagnell
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. We are often asked to cater family reunions and celebrations of life, with vegetable paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella.
In a town like Newport Pagnell, a garden party is the classic choice, and a hall or club works if the garden doesn’t. All we need is a level cooking spot. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.

How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Newport Pagnell stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Common questions in Newport Pagnell
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Bede (Roman Catholic)?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Newport Pagnell close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
How far in advance should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
How much does paella party catering cost in Newport Pagnell?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
