What else we do in Oving
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Oving: your questions answered
Is Oving close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How much does paella party catering cost in Oving?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Live paella or other catering?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Oving stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Let us know the timings for the day
