Parties in Tatling End: gardens, venues and local tips
Tatling End is about 4 miles north-west of Hillingdon, in Buckinghamshire. Wherever your party is in the SL9 area, we can bring the pans to you. We cater in all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Tatling End to London (19 miles away).
After a christening at a church like St James Church, a paella lunch is an easy way to feed family and friends. If guests are coming by rail, Denham Golf Club station is about 0.7 miles away.
We cater parties across the SL9 and UB9 postcode area. That could mean a party in a garden on Oxford Road, Pinstone Way and Old Amersham Road or the roads around them.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Questions from Tatling End
Do you come out to small places like Tatling End?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
