Live paella party catering in Bure Park
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Paella party catering for your party in Bure Park
A paella party means no cooking for you, and no formal dinner either. We set up in a corner of the garden or venue and cook while your guests chat. For family reunions and baby celebrations, we can cook tapas, churros and mixed paella for your guests.
Around Bure Park, a garden and a gazebo is all you need. Live paella fits right in. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

How we price paella party catering
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:

Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.

Common questions in Bure Park
What’s the nearest station to Bure Park for guests?
Bicester North station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Emmanuel Church Bicester: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables can be added.
