FAQs for Whitehouse
Is Whitehouse close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Whitehouse for guests?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Tell us how many children are coming
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans, at a safe distance.
Sangria sets the mood.

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Whitehouse 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.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
