Paella party catering in Edgehill
Questions from Edgehill
Do you come out to small places like Edgehill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater in Edgehill?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Edgehill and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How much does paella party catering cost in Edgehill?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Will the neighbours notice?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For event organisers in Edgehill
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Edgehill stays light until about 9:30pm 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Name one person we can ask on the day
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have bins ready
- Let the neighbours know
- Count adults and children separately
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans, from a safe distance.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.
Why choose live paella in Edgehill?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- A clear, itemised quote
