Should I cook it myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Occasions we cook for in Worminghall

It handles mixed diets without fuss, which matters at weddings with lots of guests.

Here are some of the events we cook for in Worminghall and Buckinghamshire:

  • Food for evening guests
  • Weddings with lots of dietary needs
  • Blessings and vow renewals
  • Informal wedding breakfasts

If you’re marrying at a church near Worminghall, such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive.

How to compare caterers

What happens on the day

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Worminghall, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. We check availability for your date.
  2. You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
  3. We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

How to prepare

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Worminghall questions

We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Do you come out to small places like Worminghall?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

Do you cater for suppliers?

Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.

Can we try the food first?

Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.

Do you take everything away?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Do you do canapés and evening food too?

Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.

Planning the cooking area

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What we offer

  • Sangria & bar staff
  • Dessert
  • Table tapas
  • Evening paella
  • Paella wedding breakfast
  • Canapé tapas

Working with your venue

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. 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 tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Live paella or other catering?

Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
