If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Perfect for your party in Queens Park

It feeds a crowd without anyone stuck in the kitchen, and it’s a talking point.

Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:

  • Street and neighbourhood parties
  • Anniversary celebrations
  • Garden parties and summer barbecues
  • Family reunions

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Holy Trinity, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • What happens if it rains
  • Who provides the crockery
  • VAT, if it applies

How to compare caterers

Queens Park questions

What’s the nearest station to Queens Park for guests?

The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity?

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. Send us the reception address.

Can you supply plates?

We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Do you provide drinks?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Is paella OK for kids?

Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.

When do you arrive?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

What affects the price in Queens Park

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Timings and hours
  • The number of people
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Whether you need crockery

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Anything your venue supplies
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • The date and rough timings

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Live paella or other catering?

Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so everyone eats together. And nobody is stuck at the grill. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What you get with us

  • Drinks service on request
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • We cover Queens Park and the whole of Buckinghamshire

Read How we price Or The cost guide.

What happens on the day

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Queens Park until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. You get a menu and a quote.
  3. We arrive before your guests and set up.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat.
  5. We serve, then clear our area.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

DIY paella versus live catering

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
