Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Plan seats for most guests
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Count adults and children separately
Booked staff help serve and clear.
A jug of sangria sets the tone.
How the day works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a late-May party in Woodrow, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Before we arrive

What paella party catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.

Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?

How many different paellas?

How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cater in Woodrow?

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Woodrow parties: what to know
Woodrow is about 2 miles south-west of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your party is in the middle of Woodrow or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cook in all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading, about 20 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Hughenden Manor (4.6 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of the Holy Trinity, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. Woodrow is within about 4 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
