Common questions in North Oxford
Which station should guests use for North Oxford?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is North Oxford close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It’s ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. 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.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
