Corporate paella catering in Ewelme

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

For client events, presentation matters: canapé tapas and small bowls of paella served by staff feel polished. Typical bookings include launches and open days and summer parties for staff, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella.

Planning a team event in Ewelme

Ewelme is about 8 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Whether your work event is in the middle of Ewelme or on the outskirts, corporate paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. We cater in all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Ewelme to Oxford (11 miles away).

Historic houses near Ewelme include Brightwell Manor (4.2 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for caterers. With the Chilterns National Landscape within about 5 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

How we price corporate paella catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • Timings and hours
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • How many guests are eating

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.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • The date and rough timings
  • What the venue already provides
  • The venue or postcode

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Ewelme: your questions answered

How far is Ewelme from London?

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Is Ewelme too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Do you do desserts?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Do you do starters?

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

Can you feed everyone quickly?

Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

Should we have more than one paella?

Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

Live paella or other catering?

Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Choosing a paella caterer

The process

The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Ewelme are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day
