Is live paella right for your work event?

For catering that’s part of the event, live paella stands out. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why choose Love Paella in Garsington

  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

Should I cook it myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Questions from Garsington

Is Garsington close to London?

About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Is Garsington too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Garsington?

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Can you cook indoors?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Guest numbers
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The length of service
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Details that help

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Expected numbers
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Your date and when you want to eat

The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Garsington, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.

How the day works

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Garsington, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed 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

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Plan cover in case of rain
