Why choose live paella in Olney?
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Olney hosts choose us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Catering across Milton Keynes, including Olney

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Let the neighbours know
- Have bins ready
- Plan seats for most guests
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Other catering in Olney
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about paella party catering in Olney
Is Olney close to London?
About 52 miles from central London.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of Saints Peter and Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
