What else we do in Bradwell
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Questions from Bradwell
Is Bradwell too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Bradwell from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
How quickly can you serve?
Service from the pan is fast, which suits busy periods.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Dishes our guests love
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid.
Live paella or other catering?
Not every trader covers vegans. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- We cover Bradwell and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For an evening event in Bradwell, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
