Corporate paella catering for your work event in Oxford
Guests gather round to watch it cook, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it is served straight from the pan. Typical bookings include away days and office lunches and charity and fundraising events, with paella lunches, canapé tapas and bowl food.
For a staff party or client event in Oxford, a venue with outdoor space works well. Tell us about access and parking. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Common questions in Oxford
Which station should guests use for Oxford?
Oxford station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook in South Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you cover Oxford?
We do. We cook at events in Oxford and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
