Corporate paella catering in Oakley
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Oakley, 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.

- Get facilities approval early
- Tell us how long the food break is

- Give us diet totals and allergy details
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.

Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover

Common questions in Oakley
Is Oakley too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Oakley close to London?
About 47 miles from central London.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cater in Oakley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Oakley is within our area and the rest of Buckinghamshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
