How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. December events in Mackney are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Catering across Oxfordshire, including Mackney

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Mackney
Which station should guests use for Mackney?
Cholsey station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How much does corporate paella catering cost in Mackney?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will see what works.
What affects the price in Mackney
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many courses
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
