Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Aston Clinton
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re having a ceremony at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come to Aston Clinton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Aston Clinton. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a summer wedding in Aston Clinton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
