How the day works

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Loxford are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Getting a price

We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

What corporate paella catering costs

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Timings and hours

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Details that help

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Where the event is
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Loxford questions

Is parking a problem for events in Loxford?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Can you cook in Loxford Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Do you cover Loxford?

We do. We cook at events in Loxford and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.

When do you arrive?

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 do desserts?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.

Can you serve tapas as well?

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

How quickly can you serve a big group?

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

12 questions to ask before you book

Where we can cook in Loxford

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

Loxford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
