Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cover Shotover Hill and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Questions from Shotover Hill
Could we have live paella in Stansfeld Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How far is Shotover Hill from London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
