About our corporate paella catering in Banbury
A paella station turns lunch into part of the event, not just a break from it. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and bowl food, and we are often booked for client hospitality and team days.
Work events in Banbury are frequently at the office, a local venue or an outdoor space nearby. Paella feeds a team fast and covers every diet. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Banbury: your questions answered
How far is Banbury from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Which station should guests use for Banbury?
Banbury station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you come to Banbury?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Banbury is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Banbury, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:30pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
