12 questions to ask before booking

What corporate paella catering costs

  • How many courses
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

How it works

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Bletchingdon are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:30pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

How to get a price

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
