About paella catering in MK11
Two or three pans side by side cover every guest: meat, seafood and vegetarian or vegan paellas. Each is cooked separately, so diets are easy to manage. Popular choices include mixed paella, paella Valenciana and black rice, and typical bookings are for engagement and anniversary parties and company summer parties.
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.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.

Whitehouse: For guests coming by train, Milton Keynes Central station is about 1.7 miles away.

For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.
Black rice
Black rice looks dramatic and tastes of the sea, and is popular with adventurous guests.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For event organisers in MK11
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Is live paella right for you?
A cold buffet is simple but has no theatre, and the food sits out. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot.
What your quote should include
- When final numbers are due
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- What happens if it rains
- How long the team stays
MK11 questions
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
What seafood can we have?
We will suggest seafood to suit your menu and budget. Premium options are available.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Milton Keynes included. See all areas.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
