Chipping Norton: your questions answered
How far is Chipping Norton from London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station should guests use for Chipping Norton?
Kingham station, about 4.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Live paella or other catering?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
The cooking area stays tidy.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
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.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
