Corporate paella catering in Bicester, made fresh on the day
A cooking station gets people mixing, which is the point of a team event. We’re often asked to cater office lunches and away days and company summer parties, with vegan and vegetarian paella, canapé tapas and paella lunches.
A summer party at the office in Bicester is easy with live paella, if the site allows it. Everything is cooked from scratch at your work event, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
