Your questions about corporate paella catering in Caldecott
Could we have live paella in Albert Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What’s the nearest station to Caldecott for guests?
The closest is Culham station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

DIY paella versus live catering
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
