For event organisers in Ducklington
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What corporate paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
