Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

FAQs for Shenley Church End
How far is Shenley Church End from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Which station should guests use for Shenley Church End?
Milton Keynes Central station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Usually, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. A summer party in Shenley Church End stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

How we price paella party catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- How many courses
- Parking and unloading

- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
