Paella party catering for Woburn events

What happens on the day

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, it’s light in Woburn until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Send us your date, address and numbers.
  2. You get a menu and a quote.
  3. We arrive before your guests and set up.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook.
  5. We serve from the pan and pack down.

Diets, allergies and planning

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:

  • Plan where rubbish goes
  • Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
  • Warn the neighbours
  • Collect dietary needs with your invites

We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.

Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

Should I cook it myself?

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.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

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

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Old Church of St Mary, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. If guests are coming by rail, Aspley Guise station is about 2.3 miles away.

This part of Milton Keynes takes in MK17, so your party can be anywhere in it. That could mean a party in a garden on Fox Close, Bedford Street and Caswell Lane.

Woburn questions

We’re having a ceremony at Old Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Is Woburn close to London?

About 41 miles from central London.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Can you cook in my back garden?

Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.

How do you work out quantities?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

Who clears up?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Do you cover Woburn?

Yes, we do. Woburn is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Is live paella right for your party?

A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
