What else we do in Farmoor
How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Which courses you have in mind
- Diets and allergies you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.

Farmoor questions
Do you come out to small places like Farmoor?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Farmoor?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.
