Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form

We leave the space as we found it.

Canapés for drinks receptions.

Why choose corporate paella catering in Osney?

Our caterer checklist

Osney questions

Can you cook in Raleigh Park?

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

What’s the nearest station to Osney for guests?

Oxford station, in Osney itself.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Is the paella gluten-free?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Do you cook inside?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Do you do starters?

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Is halal food available?

Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

Will there be enough food?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Why us?

  • Catering across Oxfordshire, including Osney
  • Drinks service on request
  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

DIY paella versus live catering

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

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

For event organisers in Osney

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

The process

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Osney, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Tell us where to park and unload

How to get a price

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
