After-work summer parties in Wheatley have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

What corporate paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How many courses
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Which courses you have in mind
Send us the date, your venue or OX33 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Where we can cook in Wheatley
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
