For event organisers in Princes Risborough
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. 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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Count adults and children separately
- Have enough chairs for most guests
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. At midsummer, it is light in Princes Risborough until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Give us a contact for the day
