Paella catering across HP13

We arrive with the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook the paella in front of your guests. When it is ready, it is served straight from the pan. On the menu are vegan paella, paella Valenciana and black rice, and typical bookings are for staff parties and work lunches and anniversaries and engagement parties.

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks.

Paella catering in HP13: local guide

There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in HP13, so whether your event is in High Wycombe, Totteridge and Terriers or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, ventilation and agreed timings.

High Wycombe: Historic houses near High Wycombe include Hughenden Manor (1.5 miles north) and West Wycombe Park House (2.5 miles west). Historic venues often limit cooking, so ask early if you are booking one. For guests coming by train, High Wycombe station is in High Wycombe itself. In High Wycombe, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:

Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
Somewhere close to park and unload

Is live paella right for you?

A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch.

What paella catering costs

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Distance and access to the venue
The length of service
Guest numbers

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Occasions we cook for in HP13

People book live paella because it is food and entertainment at once. The cooking becomes the centre of the event, and the food itself is hot and plentiful.

Here are some of the events we cook for:

Weddings, from canapés to evening food
Festivals, fairs and school events
Birthday celebrations
Anniversary celebrations

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

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.
