How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Wantage, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Leave space around the cooking area

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Wantage
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could we have live paella in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
