Berinsfield questions
Do you come out to small places like Berinsfield?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Berinsfield?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Events in Berinsfield and across Oxfordshire
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
Take a look at Our prices page Or The cost guide.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Book crew catering in advance
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
Allergen details are available at the stall.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
