Denton: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Denton close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Do you cover Denton?
We do. We cook at events in Denton and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
About our paella party catering in Denton
A paella party works in most gardens, if there’s a level spot away from fences and trees. Send us a photo if you are unsure. On the menu are mixed paella, tapas and churros, and typical bookings are for birthday parties and retirement and leaving parties.
In a small place like Denton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the set-up. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Denton parties: what to know
Denton is about 5 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. For a party in Denton, we cater in back gardens, halls with outdoor space, barns, marquees and offices. Denton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we cook.
For guests coming by train, Radley station is about 4.9 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Garsington Manor (0.9 miles south-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Close by, we cover parties in Cuddesdon (1 mile north-east), Blenheim (1 mile west), Garsington (1 mile west), Little Milton (2 miles south-east) and Wheatley (2 miles north). We also cook in nearby towns such as Oxford (5 miles north-west), Didcot (9 miles south-west), Bicester (13 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (7 miles south-west), Thame (7 miles east) and Wantage (15 miles south-west).

Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Paella Valenciana
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Vegetable paella
- Churros
- Seafood paella
- Mixed paella
- Tapas
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Let the neighbours know
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Plan seats for most guests
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Denton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

What paella party catering costs

- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Why choose live paella in Denton?
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
