Paella party catering for your party in Quarrendon Estate
A paella party works in most gardens, if there is a level spot away from fences and trees. Not sure? Send a picture. Whether it is wakes and celebrations of life and anniversaries and engagement parties, we can cook vegetable paella, seafood paella and churros and more.
In a place like Quarrendon Estate, a garden party is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we can get to the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why book with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Drinks service on request
- Catering across Buckinghamshire, including Quarrendon Estate
