DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, 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. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why book with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Catering across Oxfordshire, including Chalgrove
- Drinks service on request

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Chalgrove
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Chalgrove from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
