How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Culham, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Why choose live paella in Culham?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
