About our paella party catering in Piddington
Paella is relaxed food: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. Typical bookings include retirement celebrations and naming days and christenings, with tapas, churros and vegetable paella.
Country parties near Piddington suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Is Piddington too small for live paella?

Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?

How much does paella party catering cost in Piddington?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you cater for children?

What affects the price in Piddington
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Send us the date, your venue or HP14 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
