Chalfont St Giles: For a christening or wedding at a church such as Parish Church of St Giles, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.

Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
Who books paella catering?
Paella is one of the few dishes that handles mixed diets easily, because each version is cooked in its own pan. Nobody gets a token ‘special meal’.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Christenings and family gatherings
- Big birthdays
- Anniversary celebrations
- Weddings, from canapés to evening food
For event organisers in HP8
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
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.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Bread, salad and lemon go well alongside.
Is live paella right for you?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, because each paella has its own pan. It’s served quickly from the pan, so queues move.

HP8 questions
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It is ideal. Big pans feed plenty of people, and service from the pan is quick.
Do you bring everything you need?
All cooking kit comes with us. Tell us what the venue provides, such as tables or crockery.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
