Paella compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Why us?

  • We cover Winchmore Hill and the whole of Buckinghamshire
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Sangria and bar staff available

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Events we cater in Winchmore Hill

It works for all ages and diets, from children to grandparents.

Almost any gathering can work with live paella. People in Winchmore Hill book us for events such as:

  • Garden get-togethers
  • Anniversary celebrations
  • Wakes and celebrations of life
  • Street and neighbourhood parties

For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Beaconsfield station, about 2.5 miles south.

Working with your venue

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

How it works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Sunset in Winchmore Hill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  4. Guests watch the paella cook.

Common questions in Winchmore Hill

Which station should guests use for Winchmore Hill?

The closest is Beaconsfield station, roughly 2.5 miles away.

Do you come out to small places like Winchmore Hill?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Will there be enough food?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

Does it make a lot of smoke?

Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.

What space do you need to cook?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
