How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. December events in Swinbrook are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:30pm.

Paella compared with other options
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Swinbrook questions
What’s the nearest station to Swinbrook for guests?
Shipton station, about 3.3 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Swinbrook?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cover Swinbrook?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Swinbrook and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
