Corporate paella catering in Faringdon, cooked live

Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we will work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. Typical bookings include open days and launches and client and customer events, with bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches.

Around Faringdon, team days can be at rural venues or the office. Paella suits all of them. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Space, weather and the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Faringdon questions

How far is Faringdon from London?

About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

What documents can you provide?

Send us the venue’s requirements and we’ll respond.

Do you do starters?

Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Can you cook in the rain?

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Do you do desserts?

We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

Planning for every diet

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

What affects the price in Faringdon

Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Parking and unloading
  • How many staff you need

Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

12 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Faringdon, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
