Festival paella catering for Neithrop events
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. At midsummer, events in Neithrop stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Live paella or other catering?
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Neithrop
Which station should guests use for Neithrop?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Could we have live paella in People's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

What paperwork do you provide?

How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
