How our paella party catering works in Turville
Live paella suits birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer parties. The cooking is the centrepiece, and everyone gets a hot, generous plate. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, vegetable paella and tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater family get-togethers and baby celebrations.
In a small place like Turville, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the set-up. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Turville 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.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day

- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

Is live paella right for your party?

Turville: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Turville close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
