Common questions in Radnage
Is Radnage too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Radnage?
Saunderton station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
Will the neighbours notice?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. See all areas.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Historic houses near Radnage include West Wycombe Park House (3.2 miles south-east) and Hughenden Manor (4.7 miles east).

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. A summer party in Radnage stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Leave space around the cooking area
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella is hard to beat. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
