Foscot: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Foscot for guests?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Foscot?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What does festival paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Paella compared with other options

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
