Paella catering in HP11: local guide
HP11 covers everything from High Wycombe, Totteridge and Booker to 1 small villages and hamlets, and live paella works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Wycombe Marsh: Historic houses near Wycombe Marsh include Hughenden Manor (2.8 miles north-west) and West Wycombe Park House (3.9 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on caterers and cooking early. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Marsh School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. In Wycombe Marsh, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
How we price paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is cooked as one big dish and served together.

About the dishes
Paella Valenciana
Paella Valenciana is the original: chicken, beans and saffron, rather than seafood. It’s often the most popular pan at an event.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, finished with lemon wedges. It is the pan people photograph.
HP11: your questions answered
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
What is live paella catering?
We arrive with pans, burners and ingredients, cook while everyone watches, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
