What corporate paella catering costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

To check availability and price, we need:
- Which courses you have in mind

- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Chawley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Chawley for guests?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Is Chawley close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you cover Chawley?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Chawley and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Chawley? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Chawley, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Chawley hosts choose us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- A clear, itemised quote
