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.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why book with us

  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • Events in Clifton and across Oxfordshire

How the day works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. After-work summer parties in Clifton have daylight until about 9:30pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Give us a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them

We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • How long we are needed on site
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • The number of people
  • Parking and unloading

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.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

  • The address or venue name
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Which courses you have in mind

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events

We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

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.
