Paella catering for your event in Oxshott
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, there is very little waste, and the food is served hot. It is why live paella suits so many kinds of event. On the menu are paella Valenciana, vegetable paella and black rice, and we’re often booked for office lunches and staff parties and fairs, fêtes and festivals.
For a place the size of Oxshott, your own garden is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Let us know about access to the house. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Paella catering around Oxshott
Oxshott is about 3 miles north-west of Leatherhead, in Surrey. We cook at events in homes, gardens and venues in Oxshott. We cover 395 places across Surrey. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 11 miles away.
Parks such as Claygate Common typically need the owner’s permission for cooking, so ask before you plan a party there. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Andrew's Church, live paella at a garden or venue nearby works well. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Oxshott, and country venues and gardens there suit live paella perfectly. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and cooking, so check with yours.
Wherever your event is in KT22, KT11 and KT10, we can cook for your guests. Local streets include High Street, Oakshade Road and Silverdale Avenue; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Paella compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, paella makes vegetarian, vegan and halal guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate pans. Service from the pan keeps queues moving. Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Oxshott, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- We arrive early, set up the cooking area and start the stock.
- The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Plan cover in case of rain
