DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Parties in Totteridge: gardens, venues and local tips
Totteridge is about 1 mile east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. For paella party catering in Totteridge, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. Totteridge is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. We cook right across the region, from Totteridge to Reading (about 17 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Andrew's Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Hughenden Manor (1.9 miles north-west) and West Wycombe Park House (3.4 miles west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Totteridge is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Micklefield (1 mile east), Terriers (1 mile north-west), Wycombe Marsh (1 mile south), High Wycombe (1 mile west) and Tylers Green (1 mile north-east).

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, it’s light in Totteridge until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the 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.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
