Book corporate paella catering in Shorthampton
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Shorthampton
Is Shorthampton too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Shorthampton for guests?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
What affects the price in Shorthampton
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field

Catering for every guest

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:

Paella compared with other options
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Catering across Oxfordshire, including Shorthampton
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Fast service from the pan
