Paella party catering for your party in Whiteleaf
Nothing gets a party going like the smell of paella cooking. People drift over with a drink to watch it cook. We are often asked to cater leaving dos and retirements and baby celebrations, serving mixed paella, tapas and churros.
In a small place like Whiteleaf, 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. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Planning a party in Whiteleaf
Whiteleaf is about 6 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Whiteleaf to the outskirts, paella party catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. Whiteleaf is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. We cook right across the region, from Whiteleaf to Oxford (about 18 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Dunstan, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Whiteleaf, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
This part of Buckinghamshire takes in HP27, so your party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Golf Club Lane, The Holloway and Upper Icknield Way, and we can cook for a party on any of them. Nearby, we also cater parties in Lower Cadsden (1 mile north-east), Askett (1 mile north-west), Monks Risborough (1 mile west), Green Hailey (1 mile south-east) and Princes Risborough (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Aylesbury (6 miles north), High Wycombe (8 miles south), Chesham (9 miles east), Marlow (11 miles south), Amersham (10 miles south-east) and Beaconsfield (11 miles south-east).
A little further out are Stoke Mandeville Hospital (4.6 miles north) and Great Kimble Dial Hill (1 mile north). Not far away are Beacon Hill and Brush Hill Local Nature Reserve.
- Schools near Whiteleaf include Princes Risborough School (1.1 miles south-west)

Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We’ll check availability straight away.

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you do vegan paella?

Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Where we can cook in Whiteleaf
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

About the dishes
Churros
All ages love churros.
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Live paella or other catering?
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. A summer party in Whiteleaf 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.
- 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
