Paella party catering near Owlswick
Questions from Owlswick
We are having a ceremony at Owlswick Chapel: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Owlswick for guests?
The closest is Monks Risborough station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Normally, if there is outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Owlswick stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The courses you’d like
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
