How the day works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. A summer party in Tattenhoe 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.

Common questions in Tattenhoe
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Giles's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Tattenhoe?
The closest is Bletchley station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We’ll check availability straight away.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is live paella right for your party?
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
