Corporate paella catering for Baulking events

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Baulking

How far is Baulking from London?

About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you come out to small places like Baulking?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Do you cook it at the event?

It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Can we pay by invoice?

Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you do starters?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

What about pudding?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

How long does the paella take?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Why Baulking hosts choose us

  • Sangria and bar staff available
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Events in Baulking and across Oxfordshire

DIY paella versus live catering

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Tell us how long the food break is

We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.

Bowl food for standing events.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
