Step by step

For a Christmas party in Oakwood, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Before you choose a spot

- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
Oakwood is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

What corporate paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

FAQs for Oakwood
Could we have live paella in Oakwood Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is parking a problem for events in Oakwood?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Share the timings for food
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Organising a club, school or community event in Oakwood? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
