Festival paella catering in Jericho

- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Event catering near Jericho
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We bring festival paella catering to gardens, halls and venues around Jericho and the surrounding area. Jericho is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. If your event is in Oxford University Parks, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork.
We cater events across the OX1 and OX2 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event in a garden on Abbey Road, Combe Road and Pusey Lane or the roads around them.

What festival paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- Waiting and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if you can
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Jericho, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

- Check allergen info is on display
- Plan seating near the food area
Crew meals are served at set times.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
