Festival paella catering in Oxfordshire: what to expect
Crew and volunteer catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. Typical bookings include agricultural and county shows and christmas and farmers’ markets, with chicken and chorizo paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Cost
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- We cover Oxfordshire and the whole of Oxfordshire

Local landmarks in Oxford
Locally, our events take us close to Headington Rye Oxford, Alexander Library of Ornithology and South Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are East Oxford Primary School (less than half a mile south-west), Cheney School (under half a mile east), The Star pub (less than half a mile west) and St Clement's Church (less than half a mile north-west). Oxford’s nearest station is Oxford station, about 1.6 miles west. A little further out are Warneford Hospital (within half a mile east) and Rumble Museum (within half a mile east). Not far away are CS Lewis Nature Reserve and Headington Hill.
Running an event in Oxfordshire
Rural events in Oxfordshire often need traders who bring everything with them, while events in Oxford, Banbury and Didcot need fast service. Paella handles both. Parts of Oxfordshire are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape and the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles and cooking for countryside events.
Oxford: School fairs, for a school like East Oxford Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall. For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Oxford station, about 1.6 miles west. Summer events in Oxford have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Your trader pack and site rules
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Put picnic tables near the traders
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Catering for crew and VIP areas.
Dishes our guests love
Vegan paella
Vegan visitors get a real meal.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan, popular with families.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the price includes VAT
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- The deadline for final numbers
- Payment terms and deposit
Oxfordshire: your questions answered
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
How quickly can you serve?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
