Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans mean everyone eats the same kind of meal. We cook vegan and vegetarian paella, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater team days and training days and conferences.
At country venues around Fair Oak, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
About the dishes
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Questions from Fair Oak
What’s the nearest station to Fair Oak for guests?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Fair Oak?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Fair Oak are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day
